<h1><a name="kanchor2440"></a>Patron Access to RBdigital EContent</h1>
<p>Your patrons can log into the Polaris PowerPAC to search for and access RBdigital eContent titles. Recorded Books requires that all borrowers of its eContent be registered with RBdigital. The Polaris PowerPAC provides a link to the RBdigital registration form.</p>

<h2><a name="RBdigita"></a>RBdigital Registration</h2>
<p>To comply with the RBdigital requirement that all borrowers of its eContent be registered, a message in Polaris PowerPAC notifies patrons who have not yet registered that they need to register. When a patron clicks a button to check out or place a request for an RBdigital title, a message appears if the patron is not yet registered with RBdigital. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />To determine whether the patron is registered, the RBdigital API checks the barcode entered when the patron logged into PowerPAC. The registration message appears only when a patron has not registered with RBdigital.</p>
<p class="indent">

</p>
<p>The patron clicks <b>Register Now</b> to go to the library's RBdigital site to access the registration form.</p>
<p class="indent">
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/RBRegister_300x234.png" style="width: 300;height: 234;" alt="" />
</p>
<p>The patron fills out the form and clicks <b>REGISTER</b> to register with RBdigital. The patron is then able to check out or request RBdigital from the Polaris PAC. </p>
<p>You can change the text for the Recorded Book messages displayed in the PAC. </p>
<h2><a name="RBdigita2"></a>RBdigital Titles Displayed in the Polaris PowerPAC</h2>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:</b>
<br />RBdigital titles display in the patron's account in the Polaris Mobile PAC, but the patron cannot take any action on Recorded Books titles from Mobile PAC.</p>
<p>RBdigital titles appear in Polaris PowerPAC with the following buttons and banners next to the title:</p>
<ul>
<li value="1"><b>CHECK OUT</b> button - This button appears if the title is owned by the library and is available. When a patron clicks this button, the check out process begins if the patron is registered with RBdigital and has not reached the checkout limit defined by RBdigital for the type of eContent. When a checkout is successful, a new transaction 6103 is logged, indicating the eContent was checked out without an associated item record. In the patron's account, details regarding the checked out eContent for Recorded Books do not include item record fields, and <b>Online</b> appears as the Assigned Branch. See <a href="#Checking" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Checking Out RBdigital Titles</span></a></li>
