The document discusses processes for shifting or stopping patron records from a university system to a library system. It defines bulk loading, manual adds, and overlays of patron information. It addresses authorization based on patron roles and rules for specific users. Moving to having the library system directly access patron data rather than copy it was proposed to avoid duplicating information in two systems. Issues with eliminating the library's separate patron records include potential reliability, dependency, political, security, and data freshness problems depending on the external university system.
