--- Comment #2 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I am currently investigating how we could possibly use the restricted field in
Koha for a new library.

This is what I found out:
- the circulation will only be blocked, if restricted = 1
http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=C4/Circulation.pm;hb=483ad2aee510cb23f2bae61883d6b90de262d13d#l903

There seems no other functionality linked to it.

So currently, if you added another authorised value != 1, you can check out the
item just fine.

I'd like to see us decide how this is intended to be used to avoid future
problems.

We already have the 'not for loan' status blocking circ and holds - maybe it
makes sense to have another status that allows holds, but for example only
allows for on-site checkouts? 

But I'd hesitate to change the current behaviour without a good plan and an
email to the list, as libraries might have been using this field in different
ways. Maybe even needs to be a parameter for a while.
