The Five Colleges each provide various borrowing privileges to groups that are neither employed at nor attending the schools. These patrons may be alums, local residents, state residents, or others. To access the “My Account” features of Discovery, including requests and loan information, these patrons will need to have accounts created for them in Open Athens as well as in FOLIO.
Log into FOLIO & navigate to the Users app.
In the upper right hand corner, click the “Actions” menu drop down and select “New.”
