In Evergreen-speak, I'm talking Organizational Units, which can be abstract. A whole consortium is an org unit, for example, as well as a single branch, and anything in-between can be an org unit. > I think I understand what you want to do, and that would be pretty much > two totally separate installations. If one of the goals is to keep the same library card wherever you go, then one installation would be good. You can set defaults in the OPAC to target specific org units based on the URL used (and you can use different virtual hostnames, they all just point to the same server IP). And who knows, maybe at some point you will want to start doing ILL between these libraries, and then loosening restrictions on the OPAC would make this easy. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Community Support and Advocacy | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
