[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Selfcheck questions

[Terran McCanna]

Hi Chauncey,

For item 2 - if I remember correctly, I think you may be able to configure
opac.barcode_regex to have it accept barcodes... but then it won't accept
user names. I don't believe there is currently a way to have it accept
either one interchangeably yet - I started a bug at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1528647 that links to some other
related ones.
