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.
Good idea. Removing the surname increases privacy also.
Agreed. Keeping patron's privacy is most important.
I think we should merge this with the discussion on bug 26607. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 26607 ***
