I think we should at least touch base about it.  Are they missing from the record entirely?  Those might be fields that are legal to leave blank, and they might not be populating by default.

Subject: Missing user name data elements

Hi,

A colleague in the Resource Access SIG reports that a few important user name fields may be missing:

preferredFirstName, Middle Name, Honorific, and Suffix.

At Cornell, preferred names are really important, which may be true for other Unis as well. Middle Name is helpful, especially for many non-English names, and we use "Jr, III"  etc. in Suffix. Honorific isn't so important to us, but it is for other institutions.

Has anyone else noticed that and, if so, should we discuss it at the next meeting?

Thanks,

Phil
