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.' In large libraries, the extension of item types in the
Advanced Search options can become so large that it's meaningless for
end users who just want to limit a search to a "Book"
Materials grouped together on the shelves tend to have the same loan
period, but I have not seen that as a circ map component in any of the
systems I've worked with in nearly three decades.
It would be a nice feature.

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.
