[Evergreen-general] Pre-Cat management

[Jennifer Pringle]

We currently leave it up to our libraries to delete pre-cats (though I  
know it is possible to identify and delete them in batch in the  
database if you have access).

For our ILLs we recommend that libraries re-use the same barcodes over  
and over again to lower the number of pre-cats that get created/need  
to be deleted.
