expiring patron records

I know that we can delete patron records by giving them expiration dates of 1+ years old. But what if the account is less than a year old? Aleph won't let me assign an expiration date more recent than the open date.

And am I to change the exp. date for both the Global Patron and the RCS Admin Library?

Expire them to any date before today. That way, they still can't check out materials. You just need to make sure you expire the right folks.

You may want to delay this until we do inventory. It will be a good time to clean house.

Ok, I find it frustrating because I know I have made IDs for people, they have their ID, they are not grads or drops, yet their record is no longer in Aleph. So they have been somehow 'deleting' records already. (Ah, the joys of technology!!!;-)
