[Publib] Streamlining patron registration

[Sue Kamm]

However you treat the forms in hard copy, why don't you scan them into PDF
files?  You could probably eliminate the paper copies that way.  However,
I'd check with the library's lawyer in case there are legal requirements
for maintaining a hardcopy file.
