[LIBRARYDIR] how long do you keep attachments/history AND reciprocal borrowing

[Roduin, Cheyenne]

Hello,

1)      We are having an internal debate about how long we should keep ALMA patron history and attachments that are sent. Some say purge them right away so that we can never be on the line for a records request. Some say keep them a bit so that if a student wants to know what they had previously checked out, or if we need to see the history of a repeat bad user we have something to look at.  I would be very interested to know what your time period is for keeping these pieces of information before you purge them and why you chose that time period.



2)      We have started getting WAY more requests for Reciprocal borrowing - already 3 since the start of the school year. Is anyone else seeing an uptick in requests? Or are you helping send more students to other CTCs to borrow their books? Just curious mostly.


Thanks and see you all next week.
