Creating an RBdigital Integrated Vendor Account

The RBdigital (integrated) Vendor node appears in the Polaris Administration Explorer only when your library has a license for RBdigital. RBdigital supports multiple accounts, such as a parent (shared) account and individual child accounts with titles and copies exclusively for patrons registered at specific branches.

Note:
Your Site Manager will assist you in creating a RBdigital vendor account.
