All patrons who need personalised access to your content or services must have a registered and managed profile account within Infiniti and LibPaths. Patron profiles determine access privileges and services for each patron.
Patron profile data can include at least the following data:
- unique login ID, patron name, unique borrowing ID, access right, student/staff identifier, cohort, access level,
- one or more email contacts for each patron - useful for emailing patrons, teachers, and parents/guardians,
- patron portraits or photographs - useful for patron identification and class borrowing using interactive class photo lists,
- one or more group memberships - useful for collection access management and targeting specific portal audiences.
Patron profile registration can be done by one or more of the following methods:
- Manual Patron Registration, one-by-one, each patron profile, or
- Ad Hoc Patron Import of patron profiles using a correctly formatted CSV import file, or
- Concord autoSync to automate patron data transfer
