- We've received a request from one of our departmental libraries to allow for
- the due date to display for items charged out to a specific pseudopatron.
-
- Right now the Binding Pseudopatron says:
-
- At Bindery. Ask for help.
-
- They would like it to say:
-
- At Bindery. Due: 11/20/92
-
- (They have a rolling two-week binding and pickup schedule.)
-
- We have not been able to determine a (simple) way to both customize a
- pseudopatron message AND display the due date. The alternative we're
- considering is having the library staff manually change the pseudopatron
- display text every two weeks. (!)
-
- Anyone figured out a way to let the machine do this instead?
