Configuring patron access control
In this section we'll learn how to control what patrons can and cannot do
on the
OPAC. These preferences control whether patrons can log on to the OPAC, change
their passwords, place holds online, renew items online, write book reviews,
or
make purchase suggestions.
In general, most of these features are good to have and should be turned on. But if
your OPAC is not available to most patrons, then it might not make sense to take on
the burden of maintaining patron user IDs and passwords.
Here is a listing of these preferences along with instructions on how to set these
