We have reading rooms, where patrons can have their on-site loans available for
them for a long time - even a year or more! (That is, if no one else needs that
item in the meanwhile, and makes a hold for it.) We wish to be able to
distinguish the on-site loans from the checkouts they take home. The on-site
option is good for this, because it shows clearly to the patrons and to the
staff that the loans are on-site. However, we need two improvements to Koha for
this.

First, we need the option to set the due date automatically according to the
calendar and the circulation rules, taking into account the holidays and the
loan period that is set to the patron and to the item.

In addition, we need the option for the patrons to be able to renew their
on-site loans, too. Now the on-site loans are non-renewable, so if the patron
needs them longer than what is set to due date originally, it would be good for
them to be able to renew the loans themselves through our OPAC. Now the renewal
is impossible altogether.
