Have you exceeded—or are you close to exceeding—your patron and item record limits? Do your reports look cluttered? Is it sometimes hard to find things in your catalog? If so, it's probably time to clean up your data! Doing so will free up space and make your collection easier to manage and search.
Before running any utilities, run a report to see what information will be changed. If you are removing patrons and items, their history and statistics will be lost. (Although, don't worry—removing a copy does not alter the title lifetime usage and last use date.) |
How do you tell how many items or patrons you have per site? A quick way is to go to Sites and run the Actions menu > Site Record Counts report. |
Is this a lot to manage? Consider using a SIS integration service such as Clever. |
