This is needed for homebound patrons, but also for others. There are many patrons that will never log in to their account for whatever reason but want to have the reading history enabled. The work around I have used is to ask the patron if I can log in to their account for them, which may require changing the password to do so. It may be helpful to add a note field/log to track changes to this setting and who did it. I like the idea of asking for confirmation via email, but it runs into the same problem of not-tech savvy patrons, patrons who do not know their email login or patrons with no email address. We have the case in our rural libraries where patrons come in wanting to know a book they previously read but don't have the equipment or the tech-savviness to get it on their own. They just want the staff to help them. On the flip-side at our larger libraries, they definitely want reading history off unless the patron opts in. All of this is to say that it would helpful if staff could turn this feature on/off for the patron.

The feature was designed intentionally so only the user could change their privacy settings. If I set the field to unwanted, I won't be able to see the value it has in the staff interface, also it might create other problems as it's a used field still. I feel like this should be configurable in a way, maybe a pref like for some of the guarantor settings that we don't allow for staff out of the box either?

I think this one may need more thought, setting to 'In Disucssion' for now. |
