We’ve automated the deletion at 5 years in Indiana, but libraries may manually
delete them according to local policy at any time up until then.
I’ll note that we also put Discard/Weed, In Process, and On Order in that
automated process since materials hanging out in those statuses unchanged after
5 years are usually housekeeping remainders/long gone/never materialized.

Good morning -
How long do you keep lost and missing items in your catalog before deleting
them?
Thank you.
