Implementing some logic decision wether to renew or not sounds reasonable in your case. If you send me a patch, I would be happy to apply it.
Thanks for the feedback. (:
]]>Ours responds with “Items which were renewed” rather than “These items were renewed”. Perhaps just different customisation!
We get a limited number of renewals before we have to return the book (even if there’s no demand) so renewing every night would mean we’d use the renewal quota up faster than necessary. Perhaps I’ll tweak it to check on the “Loans & Renewals” (aka “func=bor-loan”) page whether a renewal would be premature.
Our ALEPH seems to allow us to reserve an specific copy of a book. This means you have to trade off using up your renewal quota against having the least desirable copy (I think a rational borrower would reserve the copy that’s due back first).
If I get around to making the tweaks I’ll post them here.
