Description Andrew Isherwood 2019-03-11 12:36:05 UTC
When creating an ILL request, it is currently possible to search for borrowers by cardnumber and username. There is a requirement for them to be searchable by surname
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2019-03-11 13:42:29 UTC
Hi Andrew, maybe you could use the existing pattern for patron searching?

Examples:
- Searching for a patron to add to routing lists
- Searching for patrons to add to orders (inform on receive)
Comment 2 Andrew Isherwood 2021-04-21 09:20:00 UTC
This is now possible. I've no idea when it got added but I just checked and, as Katrin suggested, we use the same mechanism as other areas where patron searching is done.
