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 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 interesting

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

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

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 addres

Hi,
On Mon
We currently load student data matching on the ident value but since some
academics use the same student registration system (such as Banner) there
is the potential for duplicate numbers. To prevent duplication, we add a
two letter code to the ident value to be sure each is unique. However,
with
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
student informa
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 institut
Great suggestion. Some of these features would be very useful in public
library environments as well.
Thanks for sharing.

The Evergreen for Academics group has been discussing several issues of
importance to academic libraries including support for batch loading of
patron records, batch patron update, and batch patron delete.
Academic libraries regularly load student records at the beginning of a
