TitleEbook Central Admin: 'Patron Login' approving account requests
SummaryHow to approve patron account requests in LibCentral.
Content
If your Ebook Central site uses the "Patron Login" method of remote authentication and is set to allow patrons to request an account, then:
  • Pending account requests will show on the LibCentral home page
  • Account requests will also be emailed to at least one indicated librarian (under LibCentral > Settings > Alerts > Patron Account Request Alert).

To view all pending patron account requests:
  • Go to your LibCentral site and sign in
  • On the home page, you'll see "Account Requests" near the top-left.  The number indicates the number of pending account requests. Click on "Account Requests" to reject or approve them.

  • If you approve the request:
    • the patron is notified by email that their login is active (username = email address, password can be set at their first login attempt)
    • the patron can then use their login to access your Ebook Central site from anywhere (some territory restrictions may apply).
