Overdue Cleanup Policy

Long overdue items will be suppressed from the catalog monthly after having been overdue for a year. The items will remain visible in the staff client catalog. Items will be automatically unsuppressed if returned and checked in.

Long overdue items will be removed from the database monthly when they exceed five years overdue. The items will be checked in and removed from the patron’s record.

Patrons owing only fines will be purged monthly after having been expired for three years as part of the regular patron purge..

Libraries can review a list of users due to be purged on a regular basis to renew cards for local officials, faculty, etc.
