Chapter 3. MANAGING PATRONS

 

 

Managing User Photos

You can add a photograph to the patron’s User Record. Photographs are displayed on the Patron Summary page of the Patron Checkout, Status & Reserves screen in the Circulation module (for library staff) and on the My Account screen in the Search interface (for library patrons). Additionally, patrons may choose to add a photograph through the Your Preferences function in the Your Account menu. Patron photographs provide an additional level of identification during circulation transactions. Patron photographs may be added when editing an existing user.

NOTE: User Photos functionality is optional, and may not be enabled for all systems.

To add a user photo:

  1. Access the Edit User Account screen for the desired patron (see Editing Patrons for details).
