Hello All!

Thank you for all the work you're doing on things like this.

I know we can currently restrict circulation by quantity, saying that someone
can borrow up to a certain number of items concurrently (in our case it is 50).

Has it ever been discussed, or is it even possible to restrict based on the sum
of the replacement value being under a defined amount? We're looking at this
from a risk management standpoint and asking if it is reasonable to allow a
patron to borrow one iPad, one Chromebook, one Launchpad device, etc and have
say 10 items out that carry a total replacement value of $2000? It would be
great to limit our exposure to loss by preventing patrons from being able to
borrow more than $1500 of our material concurrently.

We are not trying to prevent people from borrowing things, but simply
mitigating our risk on not having those items brought back and having to send
someone to collections with little to no hope of recovery.

Thank you again!

Christofer
