|---|
Sirsi colleges please do not remove policies as this may cause data issues that may require a full restore of the system at the cost of the college library |

This appendix can help you decide which clean-up efforts are a priority for your library – not everything will be relevant to all libraries. Examples of other data cleaning could include:

Records missing 245 | a
Enumeration
Statuses and codes
Old/inconsistent data (includes old patron records, fines beyond a certain date and/or less than a certain amount; etc.)
