Dear members, I would like to put forward the following scenario. Our library has three sections where books are loaned and they each have different policies. All library members have access to all sections. I would like to implement the library policy where 1. staff of one section can issue books of that section only 2. books should also be returned to the same section. There is no general rule; just specific rules for each section. This is what I am doing. I have provided Permanent Library of all book items as the main library name and the Current Library as the section library. I am trying to use the following global parameters to implement our library policies, but am not successful. * AllowReturnToBranch Allow items to be checked in "Only at the item the library is from" (I understand this to be the current library) * AutomaticItemReturn Don't automatically transfer items to their home library when they are checked in. (I understand the home library to be the permanent library) * CircControl Use the calendar and circulation rules of "the library the item is from" (I understand this to be the current library) * HomeOrHoldingBranch Use the checkout and fines rules of " the items holding library" (I understand holding library = current library and home library = permanent library) *It seems that CircControl and HomeOrHoldingBranch paramter are same. I also can't find how to restrict a library staff member from Setting his library to any that he wants by using the "Set Library" Option available. Also how to prevent staff from issuing books belonging to other libraries. With best regards, Naveen Ali ITM-JE (EAKL) Inst Representative for HEC Digital Library Resources. NEDUET, Karachi.
