Do you provide self service hold shelves for your patrons? Do you need a way to differentiate truncated patron names on your Hold Found slips? We have a fix for you! Madison Public Library successfully tested applying and printing the patron's middle initial on a Hold Found slip. If you are interested in having the middle initial of a patron's name print out on your slips, follow these steps:
- Submit a Circulation Support form and request that the middle initial field be added to your Hold Found receipt template.
- In the patron's Details screen, select the Edit button for the address section or use the Edit button in the work toolbar.
- In the Middle Initial(s): field, add the first initial of the patron's middle name (you don't need to add a period). Since this change will only affect the Hold Found slips, do not remove the middle initial or middle name from the First Name field.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click the Save button.
- Test the change by printing out a Hold Found slip.
