OPAC: My Account - Username

Evergreen v.2.2

Concepts

Evergreen allows patrons to create an optional, personalized username for logging into the Online Catalog.

• When a new record is created, the username is the same as the patron barcode
• The username is seperate from the patron barcode number
  • Replacing the patron's library card number will NOT change the username
• The username can be anything the patron wants
• Patrons must log in to their online account to change their username
• Patrons can only change their username ONCE, however staff can change a patron username within the Staff Client using PatronEdit
• All usernames must be unique
• Patrons can use either their library card number or username to log into the online catalog
• Staff can PatronSearch by username in the Staff Client
• Staff can view the patron username from the PatronAccount
