Subject: [Systems Librarians] Hours and holiday updates in CARLI ALMA
 because vs overdues.
Message-ID: <CAFuagLzbCB-mLrhismF2YA_yNqwsiNm6QkpXOQw+uS_RP4JH9w@mail.gmail.com>

Good morning fellow Systems interested Librarians!
I am new to the CARLI ALMA environment.  My history was in a public system
or two with Millenium/Sierra and TLC2, so maybe things that were possible
10 years ago have been taken away.
I'm hoping it's just an ol' wives' tale locally about how future holidays
are coded into ALMA to pre-empt 6-month due dates falling on a closed
holiday.

Can you help me find the documentation on this feature?

In Sierra, as a parapro, I would open check-in, set the date to the
previous open day, 5 minutes before closing (especially after a 3-day
weekend), and check in the mountains of returned items. So there aren't
fees for the days closed.  Only for books that would have been overdue at
least 3 days or more.

I struggle to describe this concisely in text.  I'm happy to meet by voice,
too.

Cordially,

Would I use the EVENT description (from below) for "Thanksgiving" or "Fall
break"?  The days change each year, but are known 6 months early.
Could the changes be made only a month or two ahead (while current loans
are out and might show a due date on Thanksgiving)?

Hi, Jennifer,
Welcome to CARLI and Alma!

You couldn?t possibly know this, but this systemslibrarian at carli.illinois.edu<mailto:systemslibrarian at carli.illinois.edu> list is a very new email list and only has a few people subscribed to it.  I?m not sure if those few members subscribed today would be the best to answer this question or not, but in good news, help with questions like this is always available to any I-Share library staff member by emailing CARLI at support at carli.illinois.edu<mailto:support at carli.illinois.edu>. I have manually created a ticket in our system for your question (and you should have received an automated email from the system about that already) so that my CARLI colleagues who are well-versed in Alma Calendars can respond and so that you can see how CARLI?s support mechanism works.  If any subscribers to this list would like to respond, they are also welcome to do so, of course!

I hope that helps,
-Jessica
