[Wactclc-alma] Reloans versus renewals

[Charly Eaton]

Hello everyone,

I'm seeking clarification on renewals versus re-loans. My understanding is
that a renewal is when the due date is extended while the item is still
checked out while a re-loan is when the student checks the item in and
immediately back out. Correct? I know Alma allows us to specify some
parameters of loan permissions via the Loan Limit Rule Editor but can we
control other parameters such as how much time must elapse between
checkouts of the same item?

This issue came up as students began checking laptops back out immediately
after just returning them. I'm wondering if the solution needs to be a
policy enforced by staff or something we could configure in Alma to
automatically restrict.

Thanks,
Charly
