Library patrons who have not used the library’s services in the last five fiscal years (and who are no longer affiliated with the college) will have their records purged from the library management system on an annual basis. This is necessary to keep the overall maintenance of records in the library management system to a minimum. Additionally, the library staff, at their discretion, may choose to forgive outstanding fines and fees if they were accrued before the last five fiscal years. This is in order to successfully purge records for patrons who are no longer affiliated with the college, to remove records for lost items that have been missing from the library collection for a significant period of time, and to better maintain patron and item records in the library management system.
