Searching for a patron

When you search in the patron module, you search for patrons within the current account. Patrons that do not have an account in the current user account are not displayed in the search result when searching patrons. The last 10 patrons that you have searched for or handled in the current session are saved for quick access anywhere you search for patrons. The very last patron that you searched for or handled can be fetched by using the Alt+0 keyboard shortcut instead of scanning the patron card in the Check out, Create reservation and Add manual ILL In windows. The list of recent patrons is cleared once you sign out.

Note:

When you search for a patron using their birth date, enter it in the same format as in patron details. For example, to search for a patron born May 2, 1977 in a Norwegian version of Quria, you search by entering 02.05.1977, but in an English version, you need to enter 02/05/1977.
  1. Go to the Patron section in the main menu.
  2. Type patron search criteria in the search field (name, date of birth, address, card number, phone number, email address, national ID, external ID or any combination of these), and press Enter.
    All patrons matching your search criteria are listed below the search field.
  3. Click on the patron to open the patron details window.

If a patron is not registered to your library you will need to add them before accessing the patron details window.
