Why are we doing this?
The current loan period for CSU+ materials is 60 days with no renewals. Users who need materials for longer are directed to request a second copy and wait for it to arrive even if the copy they have is not needed by another user. This is a poor user experience.
Goals:
Re-evaluate CSU+ loan period to see if user needs are being met.
