I have never seen an ILS that uses Location for circulation rules, but I
have always thought it was better than Item type . To the patron, a book
is a book, but when staff need to change the loan period for a certain
category of books, they have to create a new item type, such as
'REF-BOOK.'

I am not sure if it helps, but in the example which you gave, you could
make the archives its own library branch in Koha. You could then apply
different circulation rules in that branch.

This seems like a major weakness.

location that is more dense, and maybe climate controlled for preservation.
The circulation rules for those items
Hi Joel,
at the moment circulation conditions can be tied to combinations of
library, patron category and item types only. Locations cannot be used.

Is it possible to have a circulation rule that targets location? In the
past, we've had a diarrhea of item types to encode both a location and the
kind of item, and this really isn't ideal. We'd like to revise our
circulation rules to target locations, and therefore simplify our item
types.
