Found the hard date space in the circulation policies under local admin. But "stop at May 27, 2012" did not work, nor did the several variations of date entries: 5/27/12, 05/27/2012, 5-27-12, etc, with or without the "stop at..." words.
Suggestions for getting this global date entered for our students?
