Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self Registration

Hi Elizabeth,

If the workstation is a regular PC it is possible to add the registration
page to the browser bookmarks and copy the registration page  bookmark to
the PC desktop as a desktop icon that users can click.
I guess this is  not exactly what you need, however,  it might be at least
possible to use it as a kind of  work around.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self Registration

Does anyone have dedicated patron self-registration stations?  Did you adjust 
the display timeout so that it stays on that registration page or did you use 
some other work around?

Yes to this. We are very interested in the idea of using a third party (like a 
credit check agency? DMV?) to do user identity and address validation. This 
would remove the burden from front-line staff and also remove this particular 
obstacle.

To go off on a bit of a tangent (it's related, I promise) there is also the
issue of Evergreen offering a way to validate users without them being
physically present at the library.

As more and more of our resources are electronic, it makes sense to have a
form of electronic patron validation as well. It may be a good solution to
both of these issues if our self-registration form had the ability to use a
webcam to take a picture of a person and their ID with valid address.

I want to say that the last time I spoke with a library about this they had
concerns that allowing an "unvalidated" patron access to their digital
content might violate their agreement with the database provider in some
way...
As I have no personal contracts with any database/digital services
providers I can't speak to that myself but it seems like something to check
into.

I'm glad you brought that up Grace. One of our libraries would has
also requested this functionality, but got hung up on that same issue.

I know access can be a big issue with academic institutions also.
Frequently the licensing is limited to a students and faculty only.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self-Registration and Immediate Access to Services

2016-01-29 Thread Kathy Lussier

Hi all,

I know of some libraries (not Evergreen libraries) that do this. In one 
case, although the online card can be used to access electronic 
resources, it has a short expiration date. If the user doesn't visit a 
library within a certain time period (2 weeks? 1 month?), it expires. My 
understanding is that this program has worked well, but, once again, 
this isn't one of the libraries I work with, and there may be some 
details I'm unaware of.


I agree that it is important to check your licensing agreements before 
implementing a program where you allow immediate access, but I do think 
there are ways to work with vendors to implement a service like this 
one. It would be nice for the option to be available in Evergreen for 
those libraries that want to pursue it.

To go off on a bit of a tangent (it's related, I promise) there is also the
issue of Evergreen offering a way to validate users without them being
physically present at the library.

As more and more of our resources are electronic, it makes sense to have a
form of electronic patron validation as well. It may be a good solution to
both of these issues if our self-registration form had the ability to use a
webcam to take a picture of a person and their ID with valid address.

Eventually libraries will embrace these ideas but I think in some areas it
will be a hard fight.  Between traditionalistic views and not wanting to
change policies a lot won't.  Personally, I think it would be great to be
able to get a valid card for remote services without having to come into a
building.

two weeks if the patron has not come into the library to complete the process, 
so that could potentially add another layer of complexity even if a temporary

Hi,
  Have any libraries done any work on allowing patrons who have self-registered 
to get immediate access to digital services? The problem appears to be twofold:

1. Many databases authenticate using the prefix of the patron barcode, and, at 
least in our system, patrons are not assigned a library card number during the 
self-registration process.

2. For services like Overdrive that use SIP2, pending patrons are not truly 
registered and are therefore not visible via SIP2.

Has anyone found a way around these problems?

While many of our libraries are quick when it comes to processing pending 
patrons, immediate access to digital services is great customer service.

Thank you,

Holly,
Could you just have a policy page with a check box that was prefaced 
with By checking this box, I agree to abide by all library policies, 
blah, blah, blah.  The patron wouldn't be able to finish registration 
without agreeing to the policy.  I am thinking something similar to the 
software agreements that no one ever reads.  I know that would also be 
the case with the self registration, but if a patron ever claimed that 
he didn't know your borrowing policies, then you could simply point out 
that when he registered, he had to confirm that he agreed to the policy 
to complete registration.

Just a thought.

We would like to have something to agree to when patrons complete the
registration in person and they sign something (we’re thinking of
printing out their registration page).

The two ideas I have are:

-Add a blurb on the online registration so when they click Submit they
are agreeing (con: This disappears with the transaction and can’t be
pointed to later on)

- Add a blurb somehow in the staff patron registration so it prints with
all the info (con: I have no idea how to edit the registration area, or
if there is a character limit to each registration piece in the staff
client)

I like option 2, since it would print and patrons would sign just below
it. We’d then have it all on paper if we needed to go back to it. Our
library has a few custom registration pieces (gender and residency)
which appear at the bottom of the page, so I’m thinking of somehow
adding another piece, which will really just be a few sentences and not
really an option. Perhaps a checkbox that reads “I understand…” and is
auto-checked for every patron (like “Valid Address”).

Interested in any and all ideas on how others might have done this… or
not. Perhaps you’ve done away with the agreement all together (since no
one reads it anyway).

Thanks, team!

You can add something like that globally by editing  
Open-ILS/src/templates/actor/user/register.tt2 to add your message to  
the bottom of the screen (before that last [% END %]). Then you can  
use whatever HTML you want.


Alternatively, just have a stack of agreement sheets that you attach

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] self-registration agreement

2014-05-16 Thread Holly Brennan
After talking with staff today, we have agreed that having something printed 
and on record with the agreement and signature is best (something physical 
to point to). After confirming that we don't actually need a printed copy of 
all the patron info, I'm going to create an Agreement page that patrons will 
sign and date when they complete the registration in person. It will only have 
the terms of agreement and signature, with patron name and library card number 
at the top for filing purposes.

And just FYI, with the full  out-of-the-box registration fields, plus two 
custom ones, the patron info prints out to 3/4 of a page! I was very surprised 
by this. I thought of having a pre-printed agreement page with only text at the 
bottom, so we could use that paper to print the patron info at the top, but 
that would require remembering to put the special paper in, or having a 
designated printer for registrations.

Thanks for your input, tsbere! (with your ideas here and helping me get the 
permissions sorted out on IRC)
