I might do it earlier this quarter to see the effect. We can then check books out over the break for students who are already enrolled for the next quarter. We only check books out over breaks, none of which have “End of Term” due dates. We do not check
out anything over the summer to fall break.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if anyone else allows circulation of books/movies/technology over the breaks (i.e. between quarters)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have been having some Alma difficulties based on term limits and scheduling, and tested out not checking things out over the break last break. There were about two dozen borrowing requests that didn’t get fulfilled, which is pretty significant.
Based on our current configuration and understanding of Alma, checking items out between the academic quarters has meant a lot of “manual” work from the tech services team. There might be a workaround but before going down that rabbit hole, I wanted to check
in with you all on your policies.<o:p></o:p></p>
