Attention A.M. Workers!!
When checking in any material that has been returned in an overnight drop box, set the Override date and time function.
See directions here on p.3: http://staff.lib.umn.edu/iads/procedures/circ_returns_returning-items.pdf
1. Go to the Return tab in Aleph
2. In the lower pane click the Override Date button.
3. Change the date to the last day the Library was open and adjust the time to 16:30.
4. Click OK
This should be done in the morning, for any items returned overnight in the Periodicals or the Reserve drop-boxes.
This back-dating process ensures that users are not charged fines who return their items just a little late or in the event that we mess up and don't check in their item by closing time.
All students, please respond that you have read this. Implemetation of this procedure begins immediately.

I read this post. I think this is a great idea. I forgot about that second point about the case where we forget to check in items before closing; with that in mind, it is even a better idea! Hooray for forgiving rules and accountability! Now if only I can get Best Buy to understand this... :)
