Steve,<br><br><br>Biblios are shared between all branches; there is no limitation of a biblio to any specific branch. It's the items attached to that biblio that belong to a branch, and are kept independent by the IndependantBranches system preference. If you need to keep your cataloging completely separate, you'd either need some development, or separate installations.<br>
