Linking Patron Records

If your library has acquired the Linked Patrons product, you can maintain groups of linked patron records. To manage linked patrons:

1. For each login you want to use to maintain linked patron groups, enable the Linked Patrons tab in the login's Tabs options.
2. Choose Circulation Desk from the Function list.
3. Retrieve a patron record.
4. Choose the Linked Patrons tab or choose Go | Circulation | Circulation Desk | Linked Patrons. The Linked Patrons tab displays the linked patrons group to which the patron belongs.

5. From the Linked Patrons tab, you can:
   • create a group of linked patrons
   • add a patron to a linked patrons group
   • remove a patron from a linked patrons group
   • retrieve a patron record while viewing a linked patrons group
   • view checked-out items for any and all linked patrons
