This presentation is a practical look at a compact Python toolkit used to identify, validate, and act on Alma patron records, including purge dates, deactivation, user imports, and reporting. I will demonstrate the core workflow: detecting purge-eligible accounts, running verification and reporting steps, and performing deactivation with logging and retry behavior. Attendees will see code patterns, test-before-run safeguards, and a live demo generating a purge-date report and a dry-run deactivation. Attendees will be provided with a one-page checklist and example scripts to adapt to local policies and schedules. Ideal for teams needing safe, pragmatic automation.
