I think the patron should be able to opt out even if the system has opted in. At least, the library should be able to either make it optional or required. I can see K-12 and academics needing photo to be required. But, I can see a lot of patron pushback at public libraries for required photo (unless you have a photo on your library card).

This should be added as a wishlist item on LaunchPad. I would make the following two suggestions about the feature: 1. Use of the photo should be system optional (not that a person can opt-out; the system should be able to opt-out entirely) 2. In institutions/consortia where they have opted not to use this feature, there should be no indication of it in a patron record (like Photo not found or a broken image spot or even a blank space to give the impression something ought to be present).

Some things have been done locally that would be similar to this. Please note that if this is something that you'd like to see developed sooner rather than later, it never hurts to have some development money available.

It should show when we open the patron account. Can we integrate this feature in the coming versions of Evergreen ILS. ---------------------------------------------------- Jayaraj J R Library Information Assistant IISER Thiruvanathapuram -- Gerson Vázquez Centro de Información.
