<p class="MsoNormal">Question to other libraries and consortium heads out there – how do you handle libraries that want to partner with schools to issue student cards to all existing students en masse? In particular:<u></u><u></u></p>

Do you group the duplicate accounts together?<u></u><u></u></li><li class="gmail-m_6444298183561417403MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Do you have a policy in place specifically to enable this or outline a best practice?<u></u><u></u></li><li class="gmail-m_6444298183561417403MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Really the one I’m most curious about - for libraries that don’t want to issue physical library cards to students, but instead just rely on issuing an in-house barcode number, has
that caused any issues that should be planned for or worked around? Offhand, I don’t see too much potential damage from libraries that want to issue card numbers that aren’t linked to physical cards, but I am playing on the defensive this week haven’t had
the mental bandwidth put it through the thought-wringer to squeeze out all the delicious thought
<i>juice</i>. I would imagine you’d want to keep the prefix the same for accessing databases and services that validate based on library card prefix, but certainly seems far more sane to create a specific prefix that denotes these are non-physical cards.<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
