Allowing only teacher Return of books

9 votes

Due to COVID, it would be nice to have books only be able to be returned by the teacher. That way the books can sit in quarantine for a few days before being allowed back to borrow.

Good news! We are working on a quarantine feature right now. If turned on, it will put all returned books in "quarantine" status for a set number of days, and then it will move those to "put away" status. Once put away by the teacher, they will be marked as available for student checkout again.

I would like to shut off the student return option so that, as I am having students check out books and come pick them up from campus during distance learning, I don't have books that get returned online without being physically returned.

Yes! Please please please allow an option to disable student return! I am losing so many books to students who "return" them without actually physically returning the book. The quarantine feature is great, but being able to disable student return would be even better.
