Define a branch for each of the divisions, and then set the appropriate circulation rules for those branches. Then transfer the items to the appropriate branch. Alternatively, define *one* branch and set of circulation rules, with each division a different shelving location, and then transfer the items to the new branch and shelf. This is an easier setup, but it writes over the shelving location in the original library, and if you ever find yourself needing to allow circulation in one of these areas you're back to needing to set it up as its own branch again. *Joel Coehoorn* Director of Information Technology *York University* Office: 402-363-5603 | jcoehoorn@york.edu | york.edu On Tue, May 30, 2023 at 3:39 AM Rupinder Singh <jessedhammu@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, Our University library has a provision to issue multiple books to the departments for longer durations, the responsibility of which is taken by the head of the respective departments. For example, we issue office rule books to the Administration section and DDC volumes to Library and Infomation Science department. These books can not be issued to any person, as they have defined circulation rules already. A person can only get limited books for a short period.
Please suggest what provision we can make in Koha to issue such books. One is simple, just to make new patron records for each department and give them elevated rights. But I don't find it quite amusing.
Is there any particular mechanism for this, like Book Bank, Course Reserver etc., (I don't know much about it)
