1 Allow Username in Patron ID
2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3 Evergreen now accepts a patron's username in the SIP2 Patron ID field
4 (AA) in addition to the barcode. This modification is useful for
5 vendors, such as Overdrive, who can accept a user's username.
6 Additionally, it is easier for a patron to find and remember their
7 username over their barcode.
9 The new feature determines if the value in the Patron ID field is a
10 barcode or username by comparing the field value against the
11 `opac.barcode_regex` setting for the organizational unit of the logged
12 in SIP2 account as configured in the oils_sip.xml file. This is
13 similar to what the OPAC does when a patron logs in.
