[Evergreen-general] Patron Pronouns

[Millissa Macomber]

Thank you for the quick responses and suggestions! I have also created a really simple bug report – I haven’t done many of those. #1967775 if anyone wants to add to it.

I could easily imagine it in the Preferred Prefix value.

Hi, Millissa!

We actually just asked this same question of our local people who manage the ILS for us. Their suggestion was to use the Name Keywords box for pronouns. This puts a little ticket icon next to the patron's name that would alert staff to look for that field further down in the patron summary. Alert messages could also work (that would provide a message that staff would have to clear before moving on with the transaction).

I think this is a great discussion for this group.

We are adding patron pronouns to our registration form. It doesn’t look like there is a field for this in Evergreen. How are other libraries entering this information?
