  Add a feature to let the patron manage it’s reading record himself.
The laws in some countries requires that the library cleans the reading
record after some time. This new feature will let the user himself
decide what to do with the reading record. by default, the behaviour
will be unchanged (clean borrower history after some time).

An option will be added on OPAC to let the patron request “keep my
reading record forever” (a checkbox). If the user uncheck it, the
reading record will be cleaned later, by the cleanborrowers script. If
the user uncheck it, the already deleted issues won’t reappear, of
course. An option will be added on OPAC to let the patron request “clean
my reding record immediatly”. That will clean (after a confirmation) the
reading record for all issues that can be removed (ie : not current issues)

The librarian won’t be able to set the “keep my record forever” himself,
and it won’t be checked by default. The librarian will be able to see
the flag.

Technical notes :
- add a field (keepreading) to members page & display it in
members/moremembers.pl
- modify opac-readingrec.pl to let the user change the status of this flag.
- add a opac-emptyreadingrec.pl to remove the reading history. (ask for
2 confirmations before doing it, as it will be un-cancelable once it’s
done)
- modify tools/cleanborrowers.pl to deal with this flag

I like the idea of giving a patron choice in the matter.  However, I
think one thing should be added: because laws or policies in some
places may strictly require that circulation history be anonymized,
there should be a setting that controls whether or not the patron is
given the choice to keep their history indefinitely.

Regards,

Galen

This feature would be very much welcomed here.

I would like patrons to be able to pick individual items from their
reading history to delete rather than only being able to delete
everything.
