[Wactclc-alma] What is a Recall in Alma?

[Tammy Siebenberg]

Recall means to ask that a book that is checked out be returned early because someone else needs it.  This sometimes happens when, for example, a grad student checks something out for an entire quarter or year and a faculty member needs it before the checkout period is up.  The book is recalled and the borrower is sent a recall notice which may or may not include a deadline by which to return the book.  One option in Alma is to charge a recall fine if the item is not returned by the new recall deadline.

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] What is a Recall in Alma?

Hey all,

I can't for the life of me figure out what "Recall" means in Alma. The fulfillment page<https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/080Analytics/Alma_Analytics_Subject_Areas/Fulfillment> in Alma doesn't have any definitions, nor does any other page it seems.

Can someone explain what a recall is, in a relatively straightforward way?

Thank you!

Greg
