Network Zone Borrowing

  • Amanda had concerns about creating duplicates in NZ, but learned that users are associated with their institutions and duplicates will not be created. So there is more freedom for identifiers at the college level.

Patron Record Purging

  • There are limits on how many records you can have in the system.

  • The subcommittee may want to provide some recommendations around purging, especially for larger colleges if they have not purged in a long time. Too many records can cause errors in the user database.

Primary and Other Identifiers

  • The primary identifier does not need to be the same at all colleges.

  • The primary identifier can be any one of the fields, but must be unique for every user at all times.
