Those are very limiting in their current form. The current system only
counts checkouts at the circ lib, its descendants, and its ancestors.
It also only works if the rule is applied to the most specific rule of
those that apply to the circulation when fallthrough is in use.
I coded a new version, however, that is awaiting review. It was
designed to work well with fallthrough and support much more varied
configurations:

Quoting Joan Kranich <[email protected]>:
Hi,
I am setting up the Circ Modifier Count Groups in the Evergreen
Circulation Polices (under Admin|Local in the client). I would like to
limit the number of checkouts of a specific circulation modifier across
all libraries. For example I would like to set up a limit of a total of
20 DVDs per patron from all owning libraries. If that is not possible
then I would limit based on an individual library.
Is anyone using Circ Modifier Count Groups in the Evergreen Circulation
Polices? Do you have a specific standing penalty set up for controlling
the number of checkouts by circulation modifier.
I am not finding it to work very well so any advice is welcome.
Thanks!
Joan
