Beyond a custom form gathering a few extra bits of information, today
we're using most of the stock self-reg code.
We do run a query from cron to clean up leftover users after 30 days,
but that's about it.
I think the only do's/don'ts came down to making sure that staff asked
patrons if they had already pre-registered. Initially we ended up with
a fair number of users in the staging tables and the live user tables,
until it became something staff were more familiar with using.

Holly,
You might talk to Bill Ott about this. GRPL did some pretty cool
stuff with patron self-registration.

I’m getting ready to set this up for our library (single branch, no
consortium). We are running 2.5.2.
The instructions are pretty clear on where all the settings are
(thanks to the doc. author!)… I really just wanted to get feedback
from libraries who have implemented this, to see if there were
problems that occurred during set up or after going live. Dos and
Don’ts, lessons learned, how long you keep pending registrations, etc.
It’s a procedure that appears straight-forward, which makes me
suspicious! Thanks in advance for your comments!
