Visiting Scholars

Post date: Jan 15, 2016 1:32:5 AM

So I just learned something. Alma won’t let me set up an account without contact information, meaning ahead of time (you know how we would do this and block the patron until they came to the desk). This is interesting, since this was the way most visiting scholars who contacted us ahead of time would get set up.

No worries. I’ll just keep this person’s letter on file in our Approved Users notebook. When they come in, they’ll probably ask for me anyway. But any desk supervisor should be able to set them up like any other Courtesy Visiting Scholar. The letter can be verified at that time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Jessica
