All required fields must be filled with correct information. Card number is the barcode that you attach to the back of a students id.
Please make sure to enter the patron's HCCC email in the section "Contact Information" and also the section "OPAC/Staff Interface Login". The password should be set to the patron's HCCC ID.
Should the following prompt appear and you know for sure that the patron is not a duplicate, choose "Not a duplicate. Save as new record".
To take a second look, click "View existing record". Ask the patron if the existing account belongs to him/her.
To make changes, click "It is a duplicate. Edit existing record".
A new patron may not have library card number yet. If you notice it, please attach a barcode to the patron's ID and update the patron's KOHA profile accordingly.
A confirmation prompt will appear after Scanning an item.
This brings up search results along with the item's location and call number to the right.
