WIP!!!
Scope: This procedure provides instructions for running automated import, export, cleanup, reporting and various related jobs using scripts found in LS Tools web site and other tools created by the Library Systems Office and LTS Batch Processing staff. For issues surrounding the scheduling of large batch loads, please consult Bulk Loading: Scheduling (#46d). Unless otherwise noted, the items listed below are descriptions of scripts and tools found on LS Tools. Jobs may include scripts known as "mod jobs" run from a staff member's individual LS Tools folder, as opposed to scripts that are accessible directly from the LS Tools web interface. Non-LS Tools jobs are most commonly referred to as "manual" jobs. For information on staff batch job assignments, please refer to the Bulk Loading: List of Jobs (#46c). using the data import module in FOLIO.

Date of next review: July 2021
Note: Access to LS Tools is limited to trained technical services staff, divided into several levels, depending upon the degree of complexity and the impact of the tools accessible at each level.
...
*NOTE: Some scripts are placed at this level while they are in the later development stages and then can be moved after development is completed to a lower level so that the staff assigned to run it may access it once it is ready for production. Some scripts that are one-time, large scale projects are placed here for use by expert-level users, and removed once the project is complete.
