[Evergreen-general] Old Barcode/Username Change

[Gina Monti]

That's a good question.  The eresources accounts are handled differently so
changing the username in Evergreen won't affect those accounts.  The patron
would need to enter the new barcode anyway in order to gain access.  If the
username isn't filled out to the current barcode, they will be blocked from
using the OPAC.
