Hi Nicole, <br>The issue is that we have 197 Heathers in the catalog, so finding Heather Heath is proving difficult - we have problems with Jones and Smiths, as well. The only helpful feature I've discovered is that we can sort by Branch and then go to the last page of the results to get to the library in question. Clunky. Do any qualifiers work in the patron search box? <br>

Mickey, does searching for her full name not work? A full name search<br>
should find her - or a search by barcode. I'm confused as to why that<br>
isn't working. What results are they getting?<br>
