Why are due dates important?


With KU-owned items, it is important to get the items renewed in order to account for the items and to avoid overdue and lost item charges.

With Interlibrary Loan items, it is important to return them on time for several reasons:  1) to ensure the KU Libraries’ ability to sustain borrowing items from other libraries that expect to have their items returned on time, and 2) so that you avoid any overdue charges.
