Process Long Overdue Reports

Yesterday the Process Long Overdue Items report ran for the first time. I’ve just spot checked several libraries and the report ran as it was supposed to. You can see those reports in the reports login. Del Tech you won’t have any reports this time because no items qualified. All of these patrons were already blocked in the system so there is no worry that suddenly there will be an angry mob at the desk. Also the report only runs on those items that have been overdue 122 days (301 days for DT) and the patron has had 3 notices sent. All of that worked as it should have. These items will now sit in the discards location until we run the end year discard clean up report next Jan. I know I said discards would sit for six months but because of the way we are running the report it is actually 6 to 12 months. Either way that leaves plenty of time if any of these items should make a reappearance. Though, I doubt it at this point. Let me know if you have any questions.
