Due Dates

Please read this important message from Fred:

As you know, we are preparing to migrate from III Millennium to a new Integrated Library System, SirsiDynix Symphony, in the near future. As one means of ensuring that the change-over from the current system to the new one goes as smoothly as possible, we have arranged for the III system automatically assign due dates that will fall after the migration to the new system is complete. Thus, you will notice that the system is assigning due dates in mid July for items checked out for six weeks now. Please leave the system assigned due dates as they are; do not manually reassign due dates for these items. Use the Renew function in Millennium to assign six week due dates; do not manually assign them.

As we get closer to the actual migration date, you will notice more and more items being assigned extended due dates by the system. As that happens, please continue to refrain from manually reassigning due dates, and allow the system to calculate the due dates for us.

If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the Circulation Administration Department at 832-393-2222 (choose option 3). We’ll be happy to assist you in any way that we can.
