Description Barbara Johnson 2020-06-11 21:31:08 UTC
We'd like to see a system preference created that would allow libraries to select whether they would like to display the full patron name or only the first name for patrons who are logged into the OPAC.  This would provide a cleaner display since some patron names can be rather long.  In addition, most commercial websites will only display a first name for logged in users.
Comment 1 George Williams (NEKLS) 2021-03-18 17:13:48 UTC
Good idea.  Removing the surname increases privacy also.
Comment 2 Mwoo 2022-09-30 18:33:41 UTC
Agreed. Keeping patron's privacy is most important.
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2023-12-10 09:50:26 UTC
I think we should merge this with the discussion on bug 26607.
