Koha 2.2.9: Different Loan Rules Between Branches...
Dear List-Colleagues: We are working our way through a Koha 2.2.9 install. Our current question is this: "If we have different branches, is it possible to set up different copies of the same title to have different issuing rules?" For example, a small library open two days a week loans videos for a one week period, whereas the main branch open 6 days per week, loans for 2 day only, can this scenario be accommodated by Koha? If Koha, in its current incarnation, cannot accommodate this, where would we look to do our own mods to the scripts and enable this? Best, Petrus Hanover Public Library Ontario Canada
Petrus- I think you would want to start by looking at the "Independent Branches" setting. This affects circ rules, among other features (calendars, fees, etc.). It may satisfy your intentions, or if not, provide the majority of code necessary to customize your installation. --Joe Atzberger LibLime, Systems Administrator On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 6:04 PM, Petrus B. van Bork <pvanbork@outerline.com> wrote:

The circulation matrix is a three dimension matrix in Koha, and one of the dimensions is 'library' or 'branch', so yes, you can have a different loan
