Yes! Depending on if you are in the new makeover or the legacy version, access the Calendar through Preferences (legacy) or Tools (makeover) and then select the Calendar button. In order to designate a period due date, simply find the date you need to have items due and click it twice. It will show “closed” and then “period due”. Items checked out as the period due date nears will be adjusted to be due specifically on this date. If you use more than one calendar, make sure that the Patron Policies are set to default to the correct calendar.

According to new security protocols to protect privacy, a password for access can only be sent to the contact listed as the Primary. Anyone who is not listed as the primary can be edited to become the primary if the former staff in that position is no longer associated with the institution. This can take some time, so any customer who does not have access to Alexandria and needs to be issued a temporary password should expect a brief wait while their contact status is updated. 

We have taken these new policy steps to ensure that only those who should have access to a site can be granted access.
