[Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL*]- bulk update to due dates

[Elena Bianco]

Hi Amy. Yes, we worked with our IT department on Tuesday to do that earlier than schedule just for that reason. An interesting wrinkle, we have some students that need laptops loaded with a GIS software to finish out their class this quarter and we are manually extending the expiration date on a case-by-case basis for students who are not registered for next quarter...

Subject: [EXTERNAL*]-[Wactclc-alma] bulk update to due dates


If we close suddenly (so far we are fully open with face-to-face classes) and we need to bulk up date due dates for loaned items, will we first need to extend patron account expiration dates?  Right now all patrons expire the day after the last day of the quarter, to force a “drop dead” due date for our materials.



Thanks,
