20250620T1000 20250620T1045 America/New_York Adventures in Loan Periods: Troubleshooting When Alma Seems to Have Run Amok

On a bad day, it may seem like Alma is trying to sabotage all your efforts when it doesn't loan a resource for the period you think it should. On a good day, you might say it's quirky. You would not say it's adapting in a good way. It's not advancing anything if it's giving too short a loan period - including your mission to support students. Plus, you could feel it's doing the opposite of helping you advocate for your users to get the items they need by following your posted policies. If you've just been manually updating loan dates or being defeated in your troubleshooting attempts where you don't know where to start, learn about the tools and steps you can utilize to figure out why it seems like Alma. Yes, we're giving a shout-out to the Fulfillment Configuration Utility tool!
