Just started to migrate from our existing ILMS to Koha and working through the "Basic Parameters", I am a little curious between Item Types and CCODE (Collection Codes). It seems to me that Item Types really is Collections, as it allows you to set lending permission, etc. Whereas CCODE, you cannot set lending permission.
In general, if you have a set of criteria that determines circulation rules, make item types represent those criteria. Collection code and shelving location are purely for display and report purposes, In your example, you have non-fiction, fiction, reference, etc as item types with their own circ rules. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
