We use the mailing of the card as address confirmation.  If the mail is returned, we update the record.

Elizabeth,

Do staff confirm address for patrons who receive cards via the online registration process?  If so, how do they accomplish this?

Thanks,
Shannon

We use the online registration form with a welcome email trigger.  When staff process online applications, new card holders get a welcome email with their card number so that they can start using online resources. The physical card arrives a few days later via snail mail.  It's not instant, but it's fairly quick.

It’s not quite instant, but the South Carolina State Library uses the online registration form<http://www.statelibrary.sc.gov/get-library-card> to allow almost-but-not-quite instant access to our electronic resources (includes things like ebrary and Safari collections).  That was the reason we chose to implement the remote registration:  to be able to grant access to users across the state as quickly and seamlessly as possible.  Circulation staff monitor the pending patrons screen and are able to approve users quickly.  These users could be routed into an internet-access permission group.

I’m not sure if that answers your question, but it’s a workflow that functions well for us.

Good afternoon -

We are interested in online registration that would allow patrons to use their accounts instantly to check out online resources. Is that ever going to be possible with Evergreen?

We would also like to have a mobile app for our catalog. Will that be possible in the future?

Thank you.
