[ILL-L] Closed Requests Still Retaining Patron Data for Anyone Else?

[Merle J. Slyhoff]

I hadn't noticed, but actually like that the information is still
available.  I never understood the privacy issue with completed
requests.  When the request is active the patron information is there
for all to see; why does it have to be stripped from old requests?
There have been many instances when I needed the patron information for
completed requests and without that piece of data have not been able to
respond to patron questions.  What am I missing in the need to strip
names from completed requests?

Else?

 

Good evening,

 

Has anyone else noticed that some of their recently closed requests are
still retaining patron data in OCLC?  I have run into two different
instances of this today; both requests were closed within the past 3
weeks.  I thought that OCLC had specifically stated that this data would
be stripped to maintain privacy for our patrons.

 

Regards,

K.
