Salutations!
Today's Topic: Spring Housecleaning! aka Database Maintenance
Today's Tech Tip: Schedule sending an email
Just as one cleans out one's garden at certain times of the year, so I do periodic cleaning of our shared database and it is getting to be about that time. It is frustrating for patrons and staff to wade through search results with copies that say "Withdrawn" or "LongOverdue" or "Missing."
The obvious ones to clean up are all those items you weeded. You check out weeded items to your WD-XX user (ex WD-PO, for PoySippi), and that changes the status (Current Location) to WITHDRAWN2 which patrons can't see in the catalog. The next step is a report to move all those withdrawn items to a special, system-location of DISCARD. As I said, those are the obvious ones, but there are a bunch more. For example...

We've now completed 8 READ posters. Two more photo sessions are scheduled for the next week and I have sent letters to the final 6 legislators and will be setting up appointments in the next couple of weeks. So far only one legislator has been reluctant and has asked to be put off until after the budget is finished. The final photo, for the 20th Senate District, will have to wait a few months as that district is vacant until the spring elections.
