The SILS Patron Data Subgroup (PDS) is charged to carry-out the following:
Identify and inventory current patron data sources and system integrations;
Identify patron data management tasks that can be completed prior to migration to the selected SILS system;
Identify patron data that will require harmonization decisions before migration and direct those decisions to the Policy & Practice Coordinators Group, who will redirect those decisions to the appropriate Functional Group(s), indicating the priority of each decision item (i.e. whether a decision is needed prior to the migration);
Propose improvements and new structures/components for phase 4 harmonization and implementation, including coordination with the vendor (if necessary), local/campus implementation teams and the Fulfillment and ILL and Acquisitions and eResources Functional Groups;
Provide quality control support and guidance, after initial data migration is complete, for local campuses to sample and evaluate migrated patron data to ensure the accuracy and completeness of migrated data. The subgroup is responsible for the following deliverables:
- An inventory of current patron data sources and system integrations at the campuses. See Major campus systems that integrate with library systems
