Patron identification in registration
Hello!
I am curious to know if Aeon institutions are recording patron identification number (driver's license, passport, institutional id card) as part of the registration process? Or do they just check patron IDs when they arrive in the reading room and don't record the number in the Aeon User record?

Hi Lisa -- we decided to NOT keep this information any longer, in the digital environment. We do check IDs. This decision was welcomed by our systems security people. Nay, encouraged. -Heather
Hi Lisa, we indicate what type of ID is offered (school ID, drivers license, passport, etc.) in an Aeon field on the User Form, but do not record identification numbers. However, we also currently make a photocopy of the ID presented, which is then stored for a length of time in a staff filing cabinet.
