It is possible to construct circ policies to limit circ to a specific library's patrons by creating two rules: one that specifies the circ modifier, the User Home Library, and Circulating = True, and the other that uses the general consortial level for User Home Library, circ modifier, and Circulating = False.
Hold rules function similarly. However, there is a backend setting (our system is hosted so I do not know the specific code off hand) for the holds processing, that in our system at least, had to be changed to allow the consideration of user home library. Prior to that no combination of user home library-specific rules worked as expected. There are various permissions - such as ITEM_NOT_HOLDABLE.override and COPY_CIRC_NOT_ALLOWED.override, that can allow staff to force the hold/checkout. *Lindsay Stratton* *Systems Librarian* Westchester Library System 570 Taxter Rd., 4th Floor Elmsford, NY 10523 [email protected] On Wed, Apr 28, 2021 at 1:51 PM Lolis, John <[email protected]> wrote: > We're trying to restrict the ability to place holds or to check out > certain items based on a patron's home library within our consortium.
