[Wactclc-alma] Anonymization issue which I don't think we discussed yet

[Guidry, Wade]

Dale,

I expect there’s a reason that the returns weren’t anonymized. Either something about the rule setup, or something about the loans.

Could you send me out-of-list the patron ID of a few examples of returned items still appearing?

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Anonymization issue which I don't think we discussed yet

Hello all,

Edmonds was under the belief that our anonymization rules were working correctly; however, we have recently discovered a new wrinkle.

Loans are being anonymized as we expected; however, returns are not being anonymized.  If we look at a patron record we no longer see what the patron checked out, but we do see everything they returned, so one can assumed that if they returned an item they probably checked it out.  Anonymizing only half of the transaction doesn't seem useful.

We have looked around and think we have everything coded correctly, but still wonder if we missed something or if Alma isn't considering returns as part of the anonymization process.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Thanks!
