Agree that there has to be a circulator with permission to register patrons=
, in general the ability to do more than just check books in and out.=A0 I&=
#39;ve worked at a small public library where the person at the desk did it=
 all, incl. reference and readers' advisory - that person needed to be =
able to register new patrons.=A0 At Mohawk, we upload most of our student r=
ecords into EG from the college registration software but some of our progr=
ams do not have regular start up schedules and students may be on our doors=
tep a day or 2 before a scheduled upload - in that case our circulators nee=
d to be able to register a student in EG.=A0=A0 In our case, it is the waiv=
ing of fines & overriding of holds situations that we want to be able t=
o move up the food chain to a circ supervisor.=A0 Two circulator permission=
 profiles work for us but in other libraries it might be 3 or 4 or more set=
tings that would be needed....=A0  In other words, many different libraries=
=3Dmany different workflows. <br>
