Recommendation
F OST recommends that all locations opt in for the option to share operator name across the fulfillment network.
This setting can be enabled via the fulfillment_network_shared_operator_name parameter under Configuration Menu > Fulfillment > General > Other Settings.
Staff at each location should follow these guidelines:
Do not reach out directly to operator.
Each campus should reach out to main contact email in the Library Fulfillment Directory so they investigate further.
Never share names or operator information with patrons.
