A note about patron notes

Imagine it’s a busy day in your library, and a parent asks if there is any way to ensure their child doesn’t check out any books about mummies, because they have been having nightmares. A quick way to see to this is by adding a patron alert note!

With the patron current, type “! No books on mummies” into the command line and hit <enter>. This adds the note as a patron alert. Patron alerts show up whenever you bring that patron current in Circulation. You can also add patron alert notes by utility.

We have lots of different commands to quickly add general or alert notes for the current patron or copy, or add a note to the Transaction Log. The basic commands are listed as the top five on Circulation Commands. You can also look at Circulation > Command Help for more information.
