The patron
Everything that belongs to the patron's own relationship with the library — from logging in to paying a fee. The calls are in the Provider API; for single sign-on and events they also go the other way, through the Vendor API the service implements itself.
41 of 52 supported · 14 groupsWhat you can build
-
Log in the way the library does
With a password, without one, or through single sign-on. The library system's configuration tells the client which applies.
-
Loans and reservations in one place
See loans and renew them, reserve material, choose where to pick it up and follow the queue.
-
The patron's own lists and history
Lists the patron keeps, and a loan history the patron decides over through consent.
-
Check in and out
Check material out and in at a self-service machine or the staff desk, and let patrons pay outstanding fees.
