Assigning Local Privileges
In the event that the patron is from another institution, patron privileges may not be set up to borrow SMU items. To change the privileges:
- Verify that he is currently registered at his home institution by checking the expiration date on his ID card (no date will show for OCBs).
- Go to the 'Patron' tab and highligh the 'Local Patron Information' node. Scroll to his home institution to verify the expiration date. If the dates are current, scroll down the list of institutions and highlight the Saint Mary's University line:
- Either renew the patron's privileges or set him up with new privileges valid to the expiration date of his home institution (refer to "Checkout: Books" in this Chapter for more details).
