Introducing... FAQs!

Contact Info
The Contact Info tab identifies the parent or guardian you need to contact in case of emergency. Enter the contact name, address, and phone number if it is different from the patron's address and phone number. You may enter more than one name and address by separating them with a comma.
Settings
When a field has an obvious meaning or use (such as City or Phone), they will not be described unless there are special circumstances concerning how it's used.
- Parent/Guardian. Enter the patron's parent or guardian. This information is used solely for reference.
- Phone and Mobile. Enter the phone number and fax number that should be used to notify the patron of special events, overdue items, in-stock holds, and other official library business.
- Address, City, State, Postal Code, and Country. Enter the patron's mailing address. Notices and letters will be sent to this address.
- Contact Notes. Use this field to enter notes on how to contact this patron or the patron's legal guardians. You can also use the Contact Notes field to track names, additional phone numbers (cell, home, work, or fax), and email addresses.
You can customize the name of the Additional Contact and Mobile fields in Localization Preferences.
Patron contact information can be viewed and changed by patrons in the Researcher interfaces, if your security preferences allow.
