We can now give you a "secondary ID" which you can use in place of your membership number in many instances. - eg to Login to your record on the web catalogue.
This ID can be anything you choose - as long as it has not already been used by someone else. So get in early if you want to use your first name.
You will soon be able to set up this secondary ID yourself - but in the meantime, the staff can do it for you - just ask.
