This would be great!!! +++++1 Important for libraries that allow self registration. Users create their own logins without linking to their existing card. If we try to merge the two, the login information (password, etc.) is lost. This would be very useful, especially if the Registration Date field was included. I often merge newer accounts (with the correct information) for users that have returned, but have an old/expired account. It would be nice to keep their original registration date. Our network offers self-registration and I merge many cards. I'm truly amazed this is not already an option when merging. Patrons who are registered more than once often have updated information that is not in the older record. This would be an important enhancement as more libraries are offering online registration. |
