Barcode Ranges for Patron Accounts and Items
NC Cardinal requires library systems to utilize consistent barcode ranges for their patron accounts and items so to avoid data conflicts.
Patron Data
Social Security Numbers must never be stored in Evergreen; all SSNs should be stripped out of your ILS before migration into NC Cardinal.
Bibliographic Data
Joining NC Cardinal means that a library system's bibliographic records will be merged with existing NC Cardinal bibliographic records, which are "owned" at the consortium level and shared by all libraries. Therefore, donation or gift information and any other local information will need to be migrated into Item Notes during the migration if it is to be kept.
