Hi Mark,
Thanks for the question. I'm wondering though whether this is correctly the resposibility of the self-service machine? Is the decision of whether to issue something to a Patron governed by business rules within the LMS/ILS? For example, if an attempt were made to issue an 18 rated DVD to a minor this should be blocked, however the LMS will have the knowledge of how the Patron has been modelled, and therefore whether this is based on accudate date of birth information, categorisation by Patron type etc.
In which scnearios should this decision be made by the self-service machine?

Our system "issues" its own things that the LMS is not aware of.
One particular example in more detail...
This is a PC booking solution, when a patron logs into a PC they do so using their library card. Different types of patrons have different restrictions placed upon them. So we need to put patrons into particular groups based upon their date of birth, and those groups then give them the restrictions that they need.
We make a call to the LMS to verify the patron and their PIN and then grab their details, and we use rules based upon those details to decide on the group that a patron should be in.
The SIP2 systems that we interface with tend to give us back date of birth in a variety of ways as a part of the 64 response (for example sometimes it's PB).

I've just checked my SIP2 documentation and cannot find any field for communicating the age of a patron. Was this in a SIP2 extension? My reason for asking is that LCF is supposed to cover all SIP2 fields that are being used currently.

Date of birth is something that's in various implementations of SIP2, I don't believe that it's a part of the core standard.
It looks like a number of providers agreed upon PB, but even then we get it in different formats. Other providers use other fields, and formats, entirely.
All of this is talking about the 64 response.

I'm pro adding in date of birth for a patron, since all customer joining
forms request this for my customers. It is not mandatory as a field, since
they may decline to provide it, but library policy usually states it must
be provided.
If we add it to the patron entity as "date-of-birth", type xs:date and
optional, that's fine with me.
