Dawn Tåke 🌙 :sparkletrans:<p>So we had a question on our online chat room thing. A person is trans wanted to change the name on their card and asked how to do so. This isn't an option on our OPAC/discover layer, but it is on the back end. I wasn't sure of the answer, so I waited to see what someone else says.</p><p>A neat new thing in <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Koha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Koha</span></a> is "preferred name." It comes up in parentheses in Koha. Not sure what it does in <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Aspen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aspen</span></a> . Might need to test that...</p><p>Anyway, it seems our rules to change that are you can do it over chat, just prove who you are with your library card number and a couple other bits of info, (I call this "20 questions",) and that will be amended.</p><p>To change the actual name however, you have to come in. I don't think it has to be changed on a legal ID, but you have to prove more acutely who you are.</p><p>I <em>suspect</em> we keep a note on legal name on file, but I don't know. </p><p>Still, it's nice that you don't have to be deadnamed at checkout.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TourmaLibrarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TourmaLibrarian</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Libraries</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a></p>
