Agreements for library use

The agreements functionality is only available for Arena Nova sites.

When a patron signs in to Arena, the system checks if the patron has to sign a General terms and conditions agreement. Signature may be required based on one of the following scenarios:

• The patron has self-registered and not yet signed an agreement.

• All patrons need to sign an agreement due to an organisational setting in Quria.

• The patron now belongs to a new age group, and this has triggered that a new agreement must be signed.

If signing an agreement is required, only limited functionality in Arena will be available for the patron until the agreement has been signed. The patron can either sign digitally from Arena, provided that this option is enabled, or visit the library and sign manually.

Most settings related to agreements are configured in the backend system (currently, only supported by Quria).

User interface

When a patron signs in to Arena and signing of an agreement is required, a banner is displayed at the top of the screen with a link to the agreement. Clicking the link will open the My agreements tab of My pages. The agreement and its introductory text are both fetched from Quria.

Once the agreement is signed, it will be listed along with any other signed agreements on the My agreements page, and all agreements can be opened as pdf.

Configuration

The following third-party authentication providers are currently supported for digital signing in Arena:
