<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Hello Nelson<br>
<br>
This is poorly labelled on the Koha system - I believe both login screens work
the same way. <br>
<br>
Your patron can log in with either the card number, or the OPAC user ID - both
seem to work. In our case we are using the card number as ID unless the user
changes it themselves, so that there is less confusion.<br>
<br>
In your case: <br>
gorwell and 1234 - or - 3333 and 1234<br>
will work in any OPAC login screen, whatever the screen text says.<br>
<br>
Try it and see!<br>
Agnes<br>
