[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Removing Age Protection after expired

[Josh Stompro]

Thanks Chauncey, I'm curious though, if that bug was addressed, so it was clear to staff in the catalog when the age protection was expired, would you still go through this process every month?  Or are there other reasons that you remove the age protection settings?

We use a low-tech method: a reoccurring monthly report shows items needing age protection removed.  We import the barcodes into item status and batch remove the protection.  Not fully automated, but takes less than five minutes and anyone on staff can do it.
