Great suggestion. Some of these features would be very useful in public
library environments as well.
Thanks for sharing.

I don't know about others but at C/W MARS the academics provide a file and
all the data comes from the student information system including mailing
addresses. We often get one address that is a campus address and one that
is a home address.
I think Martha has it covered but we have some
I think the syncing between Evergreen and the student information system
will be critical part and I think the workflow you mentioned Tim is fairly
typical. I noticed that the wiki write up already mentions an
ident_value. Is that intended to be a unique identifier from the origin

Hi everyone,
The address question is interesting as we really only use email addresses and
cell numbers for library functions. If we need to pursue someone because of
lost items, etc, we refer those students to Student Accounts. They would have
the addresses from the student info system. Maybe
When I load student records I provide for up to two addresses.
Libraries provide the local address first followed by a secondary
address. The first address gets an address_type of 'MAILING' and it's
ID is set in the usr.mailing_address and usr.billing_address. The second
address gets an

Thanks for mentioning the unique identifier problem. I did intent to
associate ident_value with the unique identifier coming from the campus
system. Having non-unique identifiers from multiple campus systems is
definitely a possibility. Our libraries are told to append the org_unit
Hi,
The C/W MARS network has a mix of academic and public libraries. The address
field in the Evergreen patron record is very important to our public libraries
when they fill Holds for academic libraries. Public libraries need enough
information to contact the academic patron if necessary.
Hi Chauncey,
I absolutely agree. Having a tool to update batches of patron records
can come in handy for any number of projects that a public library may
be doing, such as:
- add statistical categories to users for better demographic information
- fix data migration problems
- fix

Over the last several days, I have spent a fair amount of time *not*

entering several subscriptions. All of the ones I cannot get to work are of
one or another type of irregular issuance; for example, published four
times a year in February, May, August and
Our academic libraries use the unique identifiers from the student
information system as ident_value. We have only a few academic
libraries, but some use the same student information system (same
software, runs separately). We encountered the duplicate ident_value
issue, and had to pad it.
Hi Michael –
My responses in-line below… I’m no expert, but serial predictions are fun so I
figured I’d give an explanation a try….

Hello all,
We currently sync to two different student information systems, one for the
college and one for the seminary. Evergreen does have a possible way to
classify identifiers (i.e. record their sources) via the
config.identification_type table as linked to the actor.usr.ident_type field.
