How to Assign the Library Staff Role

After the library director's account has been approved by State Library staff, library staff can begin to make accounts. Every new account created in the SILO ILL system starts in the unverified role. Users with the Library Director role are responsible for assigning their staff accounts the Library Staff role.

Assign a new account the Library Staff role

  1. Login to the SILO ILL system as a user with the Library Director role.
  2. Click on the My Library menu and select the Manage Accounts option.
  3. From the list of users, click on the username of the account to approve.  Recently created user accounts will be in the unverified group / role.
  4. Click on the Make Staff button to assign the account the Library Staff role.

Users are not notified by the SILO ILL system when changes are made to their role.  You are responsible for notifying a staff member when their account has been approved.
