Patron Record
Global User Information
G1. Alternate ID:
· McGill staff records, add PE to the end of the Alternate ID
· McGill student records, add SR to the end of the Alternate ID
· Library created records (OT) – do NOT add
<js 05feb2000 Done; will be in next load.
G2. Delinquency 1:
· A manual block in NOTIS – can be any character (in the raw data, it is in GP2 cp40 – see X below). If present in the GP that is loaded into ALEPH, change delinquency 1 code to 01 and copy the NOT into Delinquency 1's Note field. (This means that the NOT will end up in 2 places for these records, but we want to be able to see the reason for the manual block on the Global summary screen.)

GP3 L N 6911251 MSR
<js 05feb2000 As I look at the patron records I do *not* see data in the NOT fiield in most cases where a block is set. Therefore, in addition to setting the code to 01 and moving the NOT, I am moving the actual NNNN values as the first element in the DELINQ-1-N (in front of the NOT text). This will be in the next load.
G3. Addition into Note 2:
· We would like to retain the operator's OPID for the OT records created at a NOTIS terminal. In the raw data, this is appearing in the last field in GP1 (see below MJP), preceded by an * (meaning terminal). Put this OPID data to Note 2, after the OT A that is being added there as well.

Loans Information
LN1. Bad times ? – loan and due
Due time for 6.01 loans is 00.00 in NOTIS. When we converted 6.5, this turned into 00.00 AM – the beginning of the day – everything was 'due' at the beginning rather than the end of the day. 6.5 loans carry 23.59.59 for non-reserve loans.
In ALEPH, both are being converted to 00.00AM – is this the beginning or the end of the day ? We would prefer it to be 2400, like the calendar table…so it is clear.
