Reminder Regarding User Purge Dates

Post date: Aug 01, 2019 7:36:59 PM

Please remember to update purge dates for your users when you update their expiration date.

Alma uses purge date for removal of users and, in the event we started doing automatic user purges, this would cause non-expired patrons to be removed.

NOTE: WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY DOING AUTOMATIC PURGES. AUTOMATIC PURGES WOULD NEED TO BE A DECISION MADE BY THE ACCESS SERVICES POLICY COMMITTEE, NOT LIBRARY CORE SYSTEMS. WE WILL NOT TURN THIS ON UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE ACCESS SERVICES POLICY COMMITTEE. This is simply keeping in mind potential issues for the future.
