We create library accounts frequently for users who are not active Duke faculty, staff, students, or sponsored individuals. These library patrons do not have active netid/passwords, but they need to be able to access their library accounts online.
With Alma, we will use Duke OneLink (https://oit.duke.edu/service/onelink/ ), which is a service offered by OIT where individuals can register for an online login that we can then use to give them access to log into their account.
Who does this apply to
This procedure applies to any user that does not have a current, active netid.
Examples:
An alumn/ae;
Borrowers from UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, or NC Central;
Borrowers from a BorrowDirect institution;
A member of the Friends of the Library who has donated enough to get a borrowing card
