- Subject: [IUG] Looking for information on Patron Self-Registration product
I'm interested in hearing about the experiences of libraries who are using the Patron Self-Registration product. We currently use paper library card applications but we're thinking about moving to online registration. We are envisioning patrons filling out and submitting their information online and then visiting the library to present identification. Circulation staff would simply verify the information (rather than having to enter it) and issue a card. We are hoping this would save staff time and eliminate keeping paper applications on file.
How has it worked out for you? Any particular problems? Was it difficult to implement? How have your patrons reacted? Do you capture patrons' signatures digitally or do you not worry about signatures?
Thank you for any information the collective wisdom can provide.
Veronica
