I've hated auto-checkout. All it does is cause things to be checked out when whoever if getting it is not ready. For most people, the books get auto-borrowed for the full 2 or 3 weeks. And some books can sit borrowed unread for the full time. I'd rather wait an extra 2 or 3 days instead of an extra 2 or 3 weeks.
If you don't have the time for the book, you won't be borrowing it. But on auto, you will be borrowing it.
