Charging overnight reserves

During the last 2 hours before closing (after 8 pm, Su-Th or after 3 pm Fr-Sa) we can charge reserve materials out overnight. Overnight reserve charges are due one hour after opening on the next day we are open. Be aware that the system does not charge them overnight automatically; the materials will be due at closing time unless you follow this procedure:

1. Separate the reserve materials from any materials that will be charged for their normal loan period.
2. Charge out the non-reserve materials first.
3. Before you scan any of the reserve materials, you must set the special due date.

• Click the Special Due Date helper (the calendar page button) in the Checkout window.
• In the Enter Special Due Date dialog box, enter tomorrow's date (or the next day we are open) and time (one hour after opening). The format is "date, time," (i.e. 11/2/07, 10:00).
• Select the appropriate radio button:

• Click the OK button.

4. Scan the item barcode.
5. Look to see that the item has the correct due date and time in the List Of Checkouts.
6. Mark the due date and time on the green pocket card.
