[ha-Safran] AJL question --please post

[Livia Thompson via Hasafran]

I am interested in whether libraries are still using the term "patron" or have 
switched to "user," "client", or some other term.  We are finding patron to be 
confusing to some of our clients and some of our donors!

Thank you,

Livia
