Resource Policies — Departments/Locations

Use the Departments/Locations sub-tab to designate a loan period for each resource type. The loan policies set up in the Admin > Resource Policies > Departments/Locations sub-tab are used in Circulation > Check Out Items > To Department and To Location.

To define loan periods for departments and locations:

  1. Select Admin > Resource Policies > Departments/Locations sub-tab.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Use the drop-downs to select the appropriate loan period for each of your resource types.
    Loan Period drop-downs for resources in template tree.

    Note: By default, resource types inherit their loan period from the resource types above them in the tree . You can change any of the loan periods.
