Hey Jennifer, Sitka has a lot of libraries and each one is pretty much walled off and has its own circ policies. The most important part for Sitka is enforcing hard hold boundaries so that holds don't get captured outside of the walls, as this can create misleading expectations for patrons where the infrastructure doesn't exist for transiting items between libraries. This is all pretty simple using the default settings though.
Sitka libraries have had some issues with the JSPAC and patrons "escaping" the wall, but we've really had a hard time finding how they do this -- it could just be they are deleting CGI parameters from the URL which we can't do much about. With permissions, it's totally possible to have entirely separate permission groups for each library, but this could become unmanageable if you aren't careful. Sitka set up three separate sets of permission (and patron) groups for each public libraries, post-secondary libraries and government libraries. You can use the "application_perm" field to help isolate these groups from one another. Let me know if you have more questions, if you can keep it on the list that's great as I'm sure others may benefit from this information. ~James On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 11:41 AM, Jennifer Bielewski < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello!**** > > ** ** > > I’m looking to have a call or two with implementers of Evergreen who have > a shared instance with more than 1 library but each library has it’s own > permissions, circ rules and so forth.
