[Wactclc-alma] Post Go-Live Clean Up

[DALE BURKE]

One more thing about Post Go-Live clean-up.

You may remember that Dolph told us that even though there were item types
and locations that we were not going to use in Alma, those locations and
items types would still be transferred from Voyager to Alma with nothing in
them.  It would then be part of our clean-up to remove the locations and
item types after we went live.  Edmonds has cleaned this up.  We were able
to use the Advanced Repository search feature to make sure there was
nothing in any of the locations and that the item types were not being used.
