We created a local solution to this circa 2012. We store a creator and
create_date in actor.card, so we can see who issued each library card.
It doesn't capture every edit, but does show who created the account
initially and who issued any replacement library card(s).
I've added details to the noted bug.

Hi Deanna,
The fact that Evergreen doesn't currently capture the staff user and
workstation when a patron record is entered is missing functionality.
There is an existing Launchpad bug for this:

Hope this helps,
Michele

I find it perplexing that Evergreen does not indicate which staff
member input a new patron record. I can see which staff member
checked an item in or out, so why can I not see who set the
account up? It is incredibly useful data because it can help me
spot if a staff member is struggling and needs more training on
patron records. It can also be helpful when tracking down a
problem so that you can figure out where the process went wrong
and why.

*Subject:* [Evergreen-general] STAFF INITIALS-new accounts
I would like to figure out where to include staff initials on our
new patron accounts. Does anyone require this info? It is really
helpful when training new staff to know "who" entered the data.
