Reminder for schools, please review the dates and actions outlined in the emails sent to the school email forum by Antony. The subject was RSA School Staff: REMINDER: Dates and Reminders for the End of the 2025/2026 School Year and was last sent on Wednesday the 22nd. Contact the RSA Help Desk if you didn’t receive these emails.
In short, those important dates are:
Friday, May 8th – No new holds can be placed for pickup at school libraries.
Friday, May 15th – Outstanding holds for pickup at school libraries will be removed. Contact the RSA Help Desk if your library will be providing services after Friday, May 15th and needs to continue to place/receive holds.
Friday, May 15th – The default End of Semester (EOS) dates for ALL school libraries who use them are set to May 15th. Checkouts with due dates later than the EOS date will have their due date shortened to the EOS date. If you need a different date and haven’t already contacted us, please email the RSA Help Desk or give us a call.
Friday, May 15th – Outstanding holds for pickup at school libraries will be canceled and removed. Contact the RSA Help Desk to set up exceptions to these dates.
Friday, May 29th – Last delivery day to school libraries by RAILS delivery. Please email the RAILS Delivery Helpdesk at if you need service after this date.
Prior to the end of the school year – Backup your WorkFlows Configuration Folder onto a USB/flash drive. Instructions are here: https://support.librariesofrsa.org/project/setup-config-backup/#Backup_and_Restore . PLEASE ENSURE YOU DO THIS! If your computer is cleaned or replaced by IT over the summer, having a backup of your settings will save you about 30 to 40 minutes of work setting WorkFlows up from scratch.
Prior to the end of the school year – Submit your closure dates for the 2026/2027 school year via an email to the RSA Help Desk.
Starting May 1st until delivery resumes this fall – RSA’s Cataloging Department will not place holds on school items cataloged on brief records. We will resume upgrading these records to OCLC records in the fall.
