%T Creating custom ALEPH services to help manage patron records %L eluna920 %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. %D 2012 %A Steve Bischof %C Salt Lake City, Utah
