Agree that this would be most helpful for laptops and other technology items that need to be reset or maintained in between loans. Great idea, Paul!

I just wanted to give this idea another bump. My library has added iPads to our circulating items and want to have them available for one academic quarter, with an option to renew for one additional quarter. We want patrons to come into the library with the item in order to renew. If we could configure our auto-renewal rule to omit the iPads, it would be very useful. I see a comment from Moshe about using TOUs to "limit" renewals, but I don't see a way to configure allowing manual renewal while prohibiting automatic renewal? Just adding a parameter to the auto renew rule to select for physical location would be so much cleaner. Thank you!

Yes, this is extremely important! I have never come across a library, academic or public, that allowed renewals on all materials in all locations. Even public libraries usually restrict renewals for bestsellers, etc. We have a collection of short term loan textbooks and course materials that are not eligible for renewal, but all the other collections in the library are. We have been doing auto renewals for our general collection for about a year, and patrons love it. We would hate to have to take that away from them.
We would also very much like to see this change. It is too easy to accidentally scan items more than once for check-in and skew your in-house statistics. We want to start collecting this data but have put it off because of this issue.
