I have long been a fan of patron buckets. We set an expiration date for our faculty and review on an annual basis. Have the ability to update a batch of faculty records as a group would be helpful.

Librarians have previously expressed an interest in batch patron delete, batch permission group editing, and batch patron group member editing (such as adding a group of students to a teacher's group).

Several years ago, one of the primary email providers for a large swath of Georgia counties was bought out, and after a point, they deactivated all email addresses with the older company's domain, which was resulting in massive numbers of bounces for staff to process. We solved the issue with a server-side SQL batch edit of affected accounts, but patron buckets would have allowed library staff to take care of this themselves. Hope that helps!
