2.4. Preparing for Migration


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 Number 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 not be retained in the shared consortium bibliographic records. If your library currently stores local information in bibliographic records, staff should begin  recording this data elsewhere — either in the item record or outside of the ILS. You can publish this information on your website or in print format in the library, if you desire, but donation information will not be publicly visible in the NC Cardinal shared catalog.
