==Online Library Cards==
Patrons can create their own library card online any time of day or night.

The Online Card is immediately able to:
*Check out digital content from the catalog
*Place up to five holds on physical items in the catalog

During the process, the patron:
*Enters basic address and other information.
*Selects their own PIN and home library branch.
*Is shown a "success" screen after submission, which displays their User ID.
*Is instructed to come to the library within 30 days with photo ID and proof of residency.
**For Online cards issued during Covid closure, we may send reminder emails about this as the 30-day period may be extended
*Receives a confirmation email that states their User ID and their chosen PIN.

The Online card application process creates a Sirsi user record that:
*Has a 10 digit User ID beginning with 30222
*Expires in 30 days (or 30 days after reopening from Covid closure)
*Has a profile of ONLINE

The Online card can not be used to:
*Use public computers
*Check out items

==Staff Procedures for Conversion to Regular Library Card==
When a patron comes in to get a permanent library card, staff should perform most of the tasks that they perform when they are creating a new account.  However, staff edits (does not create) the existing account.  

In WorkFlows, staff should:
*Search by the patron's name, etc., to confirm they didn't previously have a library card.
*Look up patron’s Online User Account, and edit:
**Verify address with patron’s proof of residency.
***Are they [https://www.mfrl.org/policies/101.pdf eligible] for a card? 
**Change Profile from ONLINE to appropriate selection (Adult, Juvenile, etc.) 
**Review and edit data entered by patron.  
***Data should be edited for formatting (capitalization of first letters of proper nouns, etc.)
**Change User ID to a physical card number, and give card to patron.
**In the Privilege tab, check the ''Extend User's Library Privilege'' box.
***This will extend privilege to two years from today.
**Save changes and follow prompts.
*Check your work.
