Stuart, For reporting, it might not always be as cut and dry as all that. Depending on what source you’re using, the label might be different. And it might be used in different places and mean different things there. It would be good to set up a test where you already know the answer to make sure you’ve picked the right filters for your report.

The main reason for the questions was reporting. If a hold is transitted to another library and a circ report is run. If I filter by Circulation Library of the receiving branch, who gets the circ count or would I be better off using Checkout Library in the report? Sorry, my brain is fuddled today.

Hi Stuart, To echo Anna, the owning library is an attibute of the volume / call number while the circulating library of the item is going to be the branch the item actually lives at. If you use floating collections this can change without staff intervention but otherwise someone would have to change the circulating library. This distinction between circulating and owning library is often confusing as the owning library trait doesn't have a lot of obvious impact for end users so it seems redundant and confusing. It's not actually redundant but that's a whole other story, it certainly is confusing to many as you're finding it. The neither has nothing to do with the bib other than the volume connects to it but it in part has an owning library so that owning attributes don't have to be associated with the bib in a consortium where bibs are shared.

The checkout library is the one that circulates the copy? Our owning library is set to BCL and the circulating libraries are set to the individual branches, BCL-BEA, BCL-BLU, etc… Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stuart Forrest, Library IT Manager/Analyst Beaufort County Library System 311 Scott Street, Beaufort, SC 29902 843 255 6450 sforr...@bcgov.net<mailto:sforr...@bcgov.net> beaufortcountylibrary.org<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fbeaufortcountylibrary.org&c=E,1,1RP0rgVkwbDdsmP77lrf0_QMlfuWe8uBYR6QAqFI8FtaGfZTl6dhG-5z-08sJYUz0M1MngYiaLOFrc_tgCjw73fpKJgK7aVOeEDerpgoNUlxvcVEP0U,&typo=1> From: Open-ils-general <open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org<mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org>> On Behalf Of Goben, Anna Sent: Wednesday, March 4, 2020 9:15 AM To: Evergreen Discussion Group <open-ils-general@list.georgialibraries.org<mailto:open-ils-general@list.georgialibraries.org>> Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds / Circulation question [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Please report any suspicious attachments, links, or requests for sensitive information to the Beaufort County IT Division at helpd...@bcgov.net<mailto:helpd...@bcgov.net> or to 843-255-7000.

So if a book that has been placed on hold that has a Circulating Library of ‘LibraryA’ is then transitted to ‘LibraryB’ where the hold is being fulfilled. Does the circulating library temporarily change to ‘LibraryB’ so that library gets the circulation? I’m thinking of circ reports now. Or would it be better to use Checkout Library instead to capture all circulations at ‘LibraryB’ Hopes this makes sense to someone as I am not quite understanding it.
