REVISION - January 2001

PATRON RECORD EXPIRATIONS

POLICY

Patrons' borrowing privileges should be extended at any location according to appropriate patron groups.

PROCEDURE

When editing the patron record, verify all information in the patron record. In general, the EXPIRATION DATE for all patron groups should be one year. The PURGE DATE should be two years. However, some libraries (Medical Center Library and the Agriculture Information Center, for example) may choose to extend the expiration date and the purge date for faculty / staff and students in professional programs.
