[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulation Limit Sets

2016-12-22 Thread scott.tho...@sparkpa.org
I have a question about Circulation Limit Sets. I know the policy is applied to the Owning Library, but I was wondering how it would work in a resource sharing situation. Say Library X has a Circulation Limit of 5 DVDs and Library Y has no circulation limits at all. A patron at Library Y places

Hey Scott, Basically circulation/hold policies are applied at the circulating library. If your library does not have a holds limit then your patrons are free to place as many holds as they wish, both at your library and other libraries in you resource sharing situation. Same with checkout. I am no

Hi Jason, This is very helpful. Our Circ Policies tend to have Copy Circ Library and Copy Owning Library unset. The Org Unit tends to be the library system. Within systems, the circulation polices of the checkout library and not the Owning Library are applied. Given this, can we assume that C
