Workflow

Registration Workflow

Users can browse the app without registering, but upon checking out or putting it on hold, they will need to sign up to a NYPL.org account AND have a temporary borrowing barcode.

Temporary Barcode

• Temporary Barcode will need to allow borrowing. Temporary barcode will need to set up a PIN.

Browse systems

• way to ignore books should be there
• For any book shown to me (in the browse lanes), there should be a way to have it be removed and express if it is being removed because you read it or just don't want to see something like it

Language

Changing "Hold Queue" to "In Line" with a time estimate.

But we need a better term for talking about it.

RESERVE!!!

Checkout

We want to impose a 24 hour "Reserve" time by which we punt someone who's got a "reserve" window from a 3 or 7 day vendor window.

Questions

• Is access to the patron's barcode + pin available to our app via the API patron?
• If so - they don't have to type in a pin
• Creates use cases where I have a barcode and account, but not a pin
• Hold language
