LibAgent's Early Warning feature is meant to make LibAgent users more friendly towards each other. Many of us, LibAgent users, when borrowing a library book, tend to keep it until LibAgent asks us to return it, even if we don't really need the book. While LibAgent can't tell when you no longer need the book, it can try and guess when others need it. This is what Early Warning is all about.
Normaly, LibAgent only warns users when a book is due back in time that is shorter than their panic horizon. With Early Warning, you will receive one warning email the first time LibAgent can't extend the loan on a book. This is usually an indication that someone else has ordered the book. If you don't really need the book, this is the time to be nice to your fellow readers and return it to the library. If you need it, do nothing. LibAgent will only warn you when you have less than your panic horizon left before you have to return it.
We hope that if people make proper use of the warnings we deliver, we will all be able to have the books we need a few days earlier :-) However, if you feel you want to disable this option, you may do so by using the "Update" button on our home page.
