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

[Megan Bayonet]

As the new and still confused member I feel obligated to ask this...  Why do
we need to remove patron information from old requests?  Is this mandated
somewhere?  I understand the privacy issues but it seems that there are
other security measures that would accomplish that (like locked filing
cabinets and computer passwords).

I have noticed, that, too.  It appears that the patron info is still
available for about two days after the request closes.  Any longer than
that, and the field is gone.
I mentioned it to an OCLC employee at a training session once, and they
seemed mystified by it.  If you notice that the patron info is still
available much longer than two days, then I'd recommend reporting it to OCLC
support.

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.
