Description Liz Rea 2019-04-01 15:37:11 UTC
There were multiple error messages in the staff client that had slightly awkward text, for example:

"This patron does not exist" should be "Patron not found." 
"This $thing does not exist" should be "$thing not found."
"Find another $thing?" should be "Return to search."

"You are not allowed to see the information of this patron" should be "This account cannot view requested patron information" - this change makes it less personal, and might remind a person to check another account or to ask a supervisor if access is really required. I say this because it's not always the *person* who can't see a patron record, but the account that is currently logged in.
