Patron Status is your patron's portal to their personal Textbook Tracker account. It's where users can check their account status, view textbooks checked out to them, view and manage charges, and more.
Do you use Alexandria Librarian and Textbook Tracker together? If so, Patron Status is shared between the two programs and offers more functionalities (holds, reservations, reviews, lists, etc).
