Thank you for the interest in the form! To answer a few of the questions:
- The form populates a pending patron in the pending patron interface.
- The uploaded images are automatically deleted after a set period of time.
- We had a great deal of discussion about the fact that we have the
digital images of the ID, and we consulted with our City's lawyer about
this. In the end, we went forward with it, recognizing that patron
interaction with the form is a type of implied consent for us having
access to these images. We only keep the images for a set period of
time, and there are two levels of security for staff to be able to
access them. We also offer other options for obtaining a library card if
a patron is uncomfortable uploading their images with us.
I hope this helps! So far the form has been working very well for us.

Wow! This is great! You can issue a full-service card since you
have ID verification. We issue Internet Only cards through our

Not sure how helpful this is, but we ended up building an
online form that allows us to capture the cosigner
information: https://www.grpl.org/get-a-card/
One of the nice features of the form is that it allows a
co-signer to register for multiple juvenile cards at once. It
also allows users to upload identity and address documents so
that we can then issue and mail the cards.

We use 13. I think it's based more on the rules of internet
marketing to kids under 13 (who aren't even supposed to have
email addresses). We let 13+ get cards for themselves in
person as well.

In our public library district, parents must apply
for cards for children under age sixteen. Anyone
under age sixteen cannot use our online registration
since we can't verify parental permission (and

We've got a question. We've been using the
Request a Library Card form in the Evergreen
OPAC. We have customized it a bit. I recently
received a question about adding the
Parent/Guardian field to the registration form.
Apparently there is a new project that will be
happening in our department, and staff are
expecting an influx of registrations for
juveniles. So they wanted to include the
Parent/Guardian field on the online registration.
I asked our consortium if they could add this
field to our form, and after investigating, they
reported that they could not do this. Their
explanation:
"We tried adding that field to your registration
page on the development version of your site, but
the change caused a system failure when we tried
to create a patron. We looked into the reason why
we were unable to add this field and here's what
we came up with:
When someone goes to register a card through this
interface, the results are sent to a database
table called "User Stage". This table closely
mirrors the "User" table so that when a staff
member registers the "User Stage", the data is
dumped directly from this table into the "User"
table. However, updates to the "User" table don't
always make it onto "User Stage", and that is the
case with the guardian field. The only way to get
this to work properly would be to change the
schema of the database to add this piece of data
on the "User Stage" table. "
This is surprising to us. We are not a public
library, and have had few requests to register
juveniles so far. But since Evergreen was
designed for public libraries, we were quite
surprised to find that we can't easily add the
Parent/Guardian field to the OPAC registration form.
I checked Launchpad and it looks like it has
already been listed as a bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1897103),
although there's not much heat on it yet. Is
this really not a problem for most public
libraries? How do you all deal with the
problem? When registering juveniles, do they all
have to use an offline form to register?
