One of the last steps in getting your library set for summer includes managing your patron records. Advancing grades, removing graduates, changing policies—all those fun things. While it's recommended to do most patron management at the start of the school year, here are some things you can do now to get a head start...
Version 7
If you don't keep records for graduated patrons, follow the steps on the Remove Graduated Patrons tab of our End-of-Year Procedures. Note that if you manually add patrons patron records rather than importing, you'll need to advance patron grades first.
Then, once it comes time to update your patron records, check out our Patron Imports Best Practices page for instructions on importing, updating policies, and removing other patrons. If you don't update patron records until the beginning of the year, don't worry about doing that quite yet!
