Circulation staff would find it very useful to see firstname in addition to preferred_name in the patron search results table (memberresultst). Currently at 24.11+, only the preferred name is displayed. One way to handle this might be to add firstname as a line at between address and email address. SMITH, KAT 123 MAIN ST. ANYTOWN, STATE/PROVINCE POSTCODE Firstname: KATELYNN Email: X@Y.Z Or we might want to put the firstname in parenthesis. SMITH, KAT (Firstname: KATELYNN) 123 MAIN ST. ANYTOWN, STATE/PROVINCE POSTCODE Email: X@Y.Z Having the firstname appear somewhere would help disambiguate similar patron names in the search results. Even better would be logic that only displayed the Firstname when it differs from the Preferred_name. This should be made optional. Some libraries might not want firstname to appear here, to avoid accidentally deadnaming a patron.
