How to Create an Account
Everyone that uses SILO ILL must create an account to access the system. The account must be associated with an individual. Usernames and passwords should not be shared with other users.
All library staff and library director accounts at the same library see the same transactions in the same state. Individual usernames are required, because SILO ILL contains personally identifiable information for patrons, and the system must maintain patron confidentiality.
