Enabling Patrons to Change Patron Record Information

Patrons can modify the PIN and other information in their patron records by selecting the Modify PIN or Modify Personal Information buttons on the Patron Information screen.

Modify Personal Information Form

The Modify Personal Information form allows patrons to modify their contact information such as, address, phone number, email address, and the default pickup location for requests (home library). Your organization controls which fields of the patron record patrons can modify with the MODIFY_PFLDS Web option. If your organization uses My Account, the patron also can select the method by which he or she is notified of the arrival of new titles that match his or her Preferred Search specifications. Set the PATRON_NOTICES Web option to specify the notification options available to the patron. If your library uses SMS Alerts, the patron can opt in, or out, of SMS alerts through this form.

This form is customizable. See the Modify Personal Information form for details.

This form is customizable. See the Modify Your PIN form for details.
