Hello all

 

We find that private profiles do cause some problems.

One example of a non-logged-in user is our campus bookshop.

We are asking them to look at Reading Lists @ Liverpool to see academics’ recommendations.

If the academic’s profile is private, the bookshop can’t see their name on the list.

We try to get around this by also putting the academic’s name in the Description field.

And by encouraging academics to make their profiles public.

Since there is little difference between a public and private profile, perhaps it might be an idea to just have one type of profile.

 

Best wishes

 

Carole

Hi Carol, 

 

This support article explains the difference between the two, but if others have opinions on how this is working out and any difficulties if one is chosen over the other please do share.

Hello all

Does anyone know what the difference is if you make your profile on reading lists public or private?

 

Many thanks
