[opal_migration_leads] OhioLINK, Rapido, and Due Dates

[Harris, Julie]

I had a similar thought. I wonder if it is possible to add another week
into the formula to allow patrons time to get to the library to check out
the item without it impacting their ability to have the item for 21 days?
I am really surprised this did not come up in the previous waves.

Yes, this certainly has been an adventure.  Every day seems to bring
something new!
