%T Creating custom ALEPH services to help manage patron records   
%U https://beta-documents.el-una.org/id/eprint/920/
%X This presentation will discuss the construction of custom services to select and edit patron records, which helps streamline the management of patron data.  These services use a combination of  SQL and shell scripting to extract and then edit the patron records.  Another custom circulation service is a customization of cash_05, which allows the user to select specific patron statuses and specific transactions to be included in the output of the report.  This custom service uses SQL to select a list of transactions and then passes this information on to standard Aleph COBOL routines to complete the service.
