Lending Requests

Time to Respond

The Time to Respond column indicates when a request will age or expire from a Lender's Can You Supply? queues. The Time to Respond column appears in the following queues: 

  • Can You Supply?
    • New - Copies
    • New - Loans
  • Considering
    • Considering - Copies
    • Considering - Loans
  • Conditions Accepted

The default sort in the above queues is by the Time to Respond column to ensure that requests with the least amount of time before aging or expiring will display at the top of the screen. The Time to Respond column and all additional columns in the queue are sortable.

The following factors are considered when calculating the Time to Respond: 

  • The date and time the queue is being accessed
  • The lender's Days to Respond from Policies Directory
  • Non-aging days, such as weekends and holidays  
    • Non-aging days do not impact request expiration.
  • The borrower's Need Before Date
    • Need Before Date will d​​​​etermine when the request expires.

The calculation considers the sooner of the expiration or aging date and displays the difference in time between when the queue is being accessed and the ultimate aging or expiration date. The values displayed in the Time to Respond column are:

  • < 12 hours (less than twelve hours)
  • < 24 hours (less than twenty-four hours)
  • > 1 day (more than one day)
  • > 2 days (more than two days)
  • >3 days (more than three days)
  • >4 days (more than four days)
  • >5 days (more than five days)
  • >6 days (more than six days)
  • >7 days (more than seven days)

Within each category of Time To Respond above, the system sorts in order by the shipped/returned date and time, from top to bottom. This enables you to work from top to bottom in the queue. The top requests are the ones that will age first, and when multiple requests have the same Time To Respond value, the requests with that value will be sorted by which requests were assigned to your library as the lender first.
