I would love to see the ability to add another layer to item types, maybe
called item group. So, say you have DVD, CD, Music, etc, these things could
live under the umbrella of an Item Group called maybe Audiovisual. This would
enable us to put circulation rules on a group that would affect all items in
the group, which would be more congruous with the kinds of policies that
libraries tend to have.

For instance, our policy on A/V materials is that a patron may only have 5 at a
time. However, in the Circ & Fine rules, the only way we could address this was
by give all of our A/V types a limit of 5 and then we have to be paying
attention to each account to be sure that someone isn't taking out 5 DVD's and
then 5 CD's. If there were an additional layer that could group them together,
it could serve as a way to apply a limit on the whole group of item types.
