Hi Tom, A couple ways:
1) Soft delete the patron records so that they are moved from borrowers table to deletedborrowers table. There are both pros and cons to this. Biggest advantage being your patron related queries will speed up. And you call still pull up the details of your soft deleted borrowers using SQL queries. The con being that you can't directly access a soft deleted record from the Koha staff client UI (except via custom SQL reports). 2) By using the "discharge" feature in Koha which will restrict the user account for an indefinite period. See https://koha-community.org/manual/21.11/en/html/patrons.html#patron-discharges There is one catch though, it requires you to discharge one patron at a time, iirc, you can't do bulk discharge. However, on the plus side you can still see the full patron record from within Koha's staff client UI. Hope this helps, Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies On Tue, Aug 1, 2023, 22:23 Tom Obrien <tobri...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > I work in an academic Library.
