Home Prev	Chapter 55. Server Administration	Next

Academic libraries may wish to use hard due dates to truncate due dates at the end of a semester or allow particular material to go out for an entire semester.

If you wish to use hard due dates please contact Co-op Support with the following:

Date or dates for the hard due date
Who and what the hard due date should apply to
- Refer to Understanding Your Circulation Policies for the information on the parameters you can specify
Whether the hard due should apply all the time or just truncate the regular due dates when they would fall after the hard due date
- Libraries can have both types of hard due dates if you’d like different scenarios to apply to different patron groups or items. For example, you may want to have regular loan durations apply to students until the end of term when they start to truncate while faculty members always get to check out items for the entire semester.

Tip

Send your new hard due dates to Support on a regular basis to ensure your circulation works as expected.

For instance, you may wish to send the dates for your fall, winter, and summer terms to Support every August so that your dates can be entered for the entire year.
