We've talked about this feature at my library before too. We've discussed the option as being used by "web only" patrons as well as "in person" patrons. Because we require "in person" patrons to be residents of the area, we would need a mechanism in place for making web-registered patrons probational until proof of address was brought into a library for confirmation. Perhaps web-registered patrons would be created under a new category with a close expiration date? If patrons were to be able to create their own accounts, we would need to develop a system for sending confirmation emails which could be customized using the notices system. |
