we do get a pop up if they’ve borrowed a book before and a lot of customers come to the desk specifically so they can check if they’ve read something, as the user side website cuts off the history after a certain number of books…

at my library we can see the issue history on individual items since we started using the current LMS - I have to assume the data is wiped after a certain number of years cos of GDPR but we’ve only had the software since… 2021? - but afaik we can’t see users’ borrowing history

Had a customer yesterday ask me how I managed without using AI. I asked him how he managed before it and he genuinely said, “I thought.”
I explained a little bit about why I don’t use it and he said he’d consider it (seemed genuine) so that’s something
