End of Year: Ceiling Date & Fixed Date

Back Office>Library Policies>Patron Types

Ceiling Date
A ceiling date overrides the calculated due date if the ceiling date is earlier than the calculated due date.
A ceiling date also overrides a Fixed due date if the ceiling date is earlier.
A commonly used ceiling date is a week or two before the last day of school so that all items are returned before the last day of school, no matter what their calculated due date (like 14 days) would be.
On the day after the ceiling date, checkouts revert to the normal loan period. 

Fixed Date

To use a specific due date for checkouts of items belonging to a circulation type, enter that date here. Usually used for long term equipment, set the loan period of any of the circulation types to Fixed.

Make sure to change this date each year. Destiny® does not do so automatically.
