NLS BARD Support: Increased BARD Security

Library of Congress sent this bulletin at 04/11/2018 12:03 PM EDT

You are subscribed to NLS BARD Support from the Library of Congress.

 

To enhance security of patron accounts and prevent misuse, NLS will be making the following change:

 

Any patron account that has not been used in one year or more will be moved to an Inactive/Suspended status. Each day, BARD will check to see if a patron account was last used more than one year ago. When BARD identifies unused accounts, these accounts will be moved to the Inactive/Suspended status. Any BARD account that holds the status of Inactive/Suspended can be reactivated quickly and easily by a library administrator.

 

To prevent this from happening to your account, simply use the service, that’s it.

 

If for any reason you find yourself locked out of your account, please contact your cooperating NLS library.

 

We look forward to serving you for a long time to come.
