Q: Can you use the patron's .p # or name rather than their barcode # to check out?
A: No. The system is not setup to look up patrons based on that record number. The system is setup to use the patron’s barcode. You also do not have an option to look up a patron by name. Make sure your patron’s have their barcodes or student ID numbers in order to be able use offline circulation. Depending on the size of your patron database, you can use Create List to generate a list of all your patrons and export their names, barcodes, and any other necessary fields into an Excel spreadsheet if you frequently perform lookups by patron names.
