Re: University one-card system with CBORD

[Steven Jackson <jacksons@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Alan,

We moved to a one-card system last year. We continue to maintain the III 
patron database as we always have. The users ID card is swiped at the 
circulation desk and the data is passed to the one-card database for 
authentication. If validated the id number is passed to the III system 
and from that point it is business as usual.

Hope that helps.
