Patron data maintenance policy

[jcarrell]

I ran into a problem with the external accounts expiring at 120 days this semester.  We have a semester-loan laptop program, and the due date for that is always the last day of finals.  I typically check out those laptops before school starts to the students who've been approved into the program.  So, on August 13 or so, I needed the due date to be December 17.  In the spring, I will check them out around January 7 or so with a due date of May 13.  That's over 120 days.  Alma truncates the due date if the expiration date is earlier, so I had to click the "open for update" button on each patron and manually modify their expiration date a few days in advance to allow the end of semester due date.  Can we get a little bit more of a buffer to cover semester-loan policies?  Maybe 130-140 days?
