This information is the same for the patron at each site where the patron is associated. It is listed under Patron Information. • Each patron has two types of information: patron-specific and site-specific. • Site-specific information is tied to a patron's site association, for example, Barcode and Patron Type. This information can be different for the patron at each site. It is listed under Site Information. • School patrons managers can edit school-specific information for their school only, whiledistrict patrons managers can edit school-specific information for any school the patron is associated with. • Media specialists are school patrons managers and have a Search across the district check box so they can also associate patrons of other sites with their sites.
