How do I change the library I'm logged in at in the staff client?

This FAQ applies to: 3.0, 3.1

I have Koha set up with a single branch. When logging in to the intranet, I have a choice on the dropdown list between "My Library" and my branch name. What is the difference in logging in as one or the other? And can I eliminate the "My Library" choice from the list"?

"My Library" logs you into the branch that is specified in your account (borrowers table).  This provides a default that is almost always correct for all staff in all branches (exceptions: librarians at multiple branches, central staff, the superuser who has NO branch, etc.). 

If all your staff users have their home branch set correctly, then there is no difference between the two choices for them.  Both are correct.  You could eliminate "My Library" from your local list, but there's not much point.
