--- Comment #39 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
Hi Lari,

I really like the idea of circulation types - I think I actually suggested
something like that when on-site was introduced at the time, because I know
other systems use this concept.

I have 2 comments for discussion/consideration.

1) "This commit adds an authorised value category "CHECKOUT_TYPE" and
an authorised value "OS" (on-site) and "C" (normal checkout)."

I feel this is not necessary and would vote for hard-coding the circulation
types and their descriptions. It will make it translatable and keep people from
'messing' with it. Unless you plan to really allow people to add a lot more of
those?  I'd also use more speakign abbreviations, maybe 'ONSITE' and CHECKOUT -
no need to make things more cryptical than necessary. It would help doing
reports etc. too.

2) On the mailing list it was suggested to have 'normal' 'on-site' and 'all'. I
am not sure about the 'all'. I feel it might be complicating things more than
necessary. If all was to preserve current behaviour, I don't think that would
work as on-site currently is 1 day by default, independent of the normal loan
period.
