Rachael, There is the option of specifying where in a particualr library something is located. I think you can let the patron know if something is in the reference collection or large print area in a particular library. Would it be possible to treat the sub-branch as a location within the branch?

Hi I was wondering wether there are other libraries, particularly corporate or specialty libraries who have a need (or could see one :-) for sub branches. The context for this is a Branch which is the office building in a city - eg Wellington And then a sub branch which is the third floor. This would be quite a lot of stuff to "touch" in Koha - specifically it would involve changing circulation and I think adds a layer of complexity perhaps to issuing and returning items. On the other hand I'd imagine that the libraies who would use this wouldn't do that much issuing and returning? SO thoughts pleasa? Is it a useful idea? Does anyone do it already?
