The CARLI Office strongly recommends that I-Share libraries should routinely delete obsolete patron records from their databases. I-Share libraries may use the Voyager Patron Record Purge process to remove sensitive data for patrons who are no longer affiliated with their libraries. Besides removing personal information, deleting patron records keeps your patron database more up-to-date, which will help reduce effort in any future system migration.

As a book conservator, I attended this workshop to continue my awareness of mold and the effects it can have on our library collection as well as learn about new treatments and if there are treatments that are no longer recommended. I was looking forward to the hands-on salvage demonstration so that I would be better prepared for a future water disaster. – M. Schoenborn
