Thanks for putting this together, Martha, it looks like a great start. One set of use cases that I'm particularly curious about are how addresses should be handled. For example, does it suffice for most of the libraries in the IG to have the batch import handle one address per patron? Do any of you get mailing address data from any place other than the student and staff information systems? Are any of you in a position to not have to worry about keeping student mailing addresses in the ILS at all?
