Allow multiple time zones for institutions with campuses in different time zones
We are currently implementing Alma, and have been staggered to learn that we are only allowed one time zone as our default. We understand that (it seems) most Alma institutions only have the one time zone, but in our case we have two different time zones - and one of them has a period of daylight savings every year, so that adds to the complication.
We can't see how Alma will be functional for us with Fulfillment and the like, if we can't allow both our east and west coast campuses to have their own time zones in place when working with Alma.
Are there any other institutions out there that are dealing with multiple time zones? We did wonder if this is where instituting a consortia setup would come into play - we were told early on that very few institutions do this, but since we seem to be one of very few institutions with multiple time zones (we just had to be special), perhaps we would qualify.
Any advice would be much appreciated, or else an implementation of my idea would help us out a lot.
Thanks!

In our case it's cross border - so not being able to have a different time zone and different currency (for fines) for a campus is challenging.
