[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Patron Batch Functions

[Tim Spindler]

I don't know about others but at C/W MARS the academics provide a file and
all the data comes from the student information system including mailing
addresses.  We often get one address that is a campus address and one that
is a home address.


I think Martha has it covered but we have some institutions who would want
address information overlaid and others who might want all address in the
record because of the way students can move around.
