Account Preferences


Home Prev	Chapter 11. My Account	Next

From here you can manage display preferences including your Personal Information, Notification Preferences, and Search and History Preferences. Additional static information, such as your Account Expiration Date, can be found under Personal Information.

For example:

Personal Information
- change password - allows patrons to change their password
- change email address - allows patrons to change their email address.
Notification Preferences
- Notify by Email by default when a hold is ready for pickup?
- Notify by Phone by default when a hold is ready for pickup?
- Default Phone Number
Search and History Preferences
- Search hits per page
- Preferred pickup location
- Keep history of checked out items?
- Keep history of holds?

Warning

Turning off the Keep history of checked out items? or Keep history of holds? features will permanently delete all entries in the relevant patron screens. After this is unchecked, there is no way for a patron to recover those data.

After changing any of these settings, you must click Save to store your preferences.

Authorize other people to use your account

If your library has enabled it, you can authorize other people to use your account. In the Search and History Preferences tab under Account Preferences, find the section labeled "Allow others to use my account". Enter the name and indicate that the specified person is allowed to place holds, pickup holds, view borrowing history, and check out items on their account. This information will also be visible to circulation staff at your library.
