[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] self-registration agreement

[Holly Brennan]

Has anyone added an agreement for patrons to go along with patron self-registration? Such as "I understand that I am responsible... blah blah blah"

We would like to have something to agree to when patrons complete the registration in person and they sign something (we're thinking of printing out their registration page).

The two ideas I have are:
-Add a blurb on the online registration so when they click Submit they are agreeing (con: This disappears with the transaction and can't be pointed to later on)
- Add a blurb somehow in the staff patron registration so it prints with all the info (con: I have no idea how to edit the registration area, or if there is a character limit to each registration piece in the staff client)

I like option 2, since it would print and patrons would sign just below it. We'd then have it all on paper if we needed to go back to it. Our library has a few custom registration pieces (gender and residency) which appear at the bottom of the page, so I'm thinking of somehow adding another piece, which will really just be a few sentences and not really an option. Perhaps a checkbox that reads "I understand..." and is auto-checked for every patron (like "Valid Address").

Interested in any and all ideas on how others might have done this... or not. Perhaps you've done away with the agreement all together (since no one reads it anyway).

Thanks, team!
