--- Comment #4 from Kyle M Hall <kyle at bywatersolutions.com> ---
For the most part the system goes like this for selecting circulation rules:

1) If CircControl is set to "the library you are logged in at" circ rules will
be selected based on the logged in branchcode

2) If CircControl is set to "the library the patron is from" circ rules will be
selected based on the patron's branchcode

3) If CircControl is set to "the library the item is from" circ rules will be
selected based on the items branchcode where HomeOrHoldingBranch chooses if
items.homebranch is used or items.holdingbranch is used.

Also, if IndependentBranches is enabled, and the item's branchcode ( the
choosing of which is via HomeOrHoldingBranch ) does not match the logged in
library branchcode , the item cannot be issued ( unless you are a
super-librarian ).

Really, what we should do is remove the "the library the item is from" option
from CircControl and add "the library that owns the item" and "the library that
is holding the item" so we can remove HomeOrHoldingBranch from the circulation
rules logic altogether. Then, we can identify what HomeOrHoldingBranch still
does, and rename it to something more descriptive and accurate.
