Locate DCB for OpenRS
| Locate DCB | Action | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instance detail screen | Status is always "Available" or "Unavailable". Currently, this approximates whether or not the item can be requested but it's not a perfect overlap. This needs both definition and reconciliation. A document that elaborates on the display behavior for instances and items in the DCB union catalog, can be found here. |   | |
| Patron authentication | Patrons have two paths to authenticate in OpenRS. 1) Select the avatar in the upper right corner of the screen where the user will be prompted to "sign-in" or 2) Click on "place hold" button underneath the instance title. In both cases, if the patron has not already authenticated in the current browser session, they will be prompted for their institutional affiliation. From there, they will be prompted for their credentials. OpenRS supports both SSL and native ILS authentication (e.g. barcode and PIN). Authentication is performed against the ILS. Patron record lookups are always against the ILS/LMS. No patron data is stored in DCB. |
