[Evergreen-general] STAFF INITIALS-new accounts

[Morgan, Michele]

Hi Deanna,

The fact that Evergreen doesn't currently capture the staff user and
workstation when a patron record is entered is missing functionality. There
is an existing Launchpad bug for this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1607827

Hope this helps,
Michele
