- Increase the number of allowable renewals where possible
- Increase the number of borrowed items allowed where possible

These new patron types and loan periods will be implemented for all new loans and renewals from the end of June 2015. Over the next academic year we will be monitoring usage to ensure that all user have benefited from these changes.
