[opal_migration_leads] OhioLINK, Rapido, and Due Dates

[Amy Leoni]

It sounded like as soon as a book leaves it's home library, it's checked out to the requestor or that's when the due date is set-even though it still has to travel from, say, Franciscan to Hiram, and then wait for the student to pick it up-all the while their loan period is decreasing. So a three week loan period might end up being just two weeks. But maybe I'm wrong. Thoughts?

Hi everyone!

Is there anyone who was in the Rapido Wave 4 or 5 meeting today explain exactly what's going on due date situation that folks were upset about in the meeting?  I missed what started the conversation about that and found it incredibly bizarre that this is the first time the issue has come up so far.  I was talking about this with my coworker Terri, and she had an understanding of it but wasn't sure if she was correct about it.

Thanks,

Laurence
