PCR Feature #4: Next Open Day Reservation

Hello,
If you work at a branch that is closed one or more days, have you had to answer a patron's question why a computer cannot be reserved ahead of time? For example, a library branch is closed on Sunday and patrons cannot reserve a computer on Saturday for Monday because of the whole 24 hours in advance rule in CybraryN. If that last sentence sounded a little confusing, then the whole proctice of the 24 hour reservation window excluding closed days is not beneficial for patrons.

In the new PCR system, patrons and staff can now reserve a computer in advance even if a library branch is closed. This is called "Next Open Day". The 24 hour window still applies but it also includes the next time a branch is open. Essentially, a patron can reserve a public computer on Saturday for a time on Monday, given that the branch is closed Sundays. This does not allow patrons to reserve a computer three days ahead of time, or a week, only 24 hours in advance. It will only allow this when closed days are taken into account. That's it for now, have a great day everyone.
