Tena koe Ann,

 

I think Item types are the best way to manage this rather than a different branch. That way you can configure the borrowing rules by item type and member type to make that as rigid or flexible as you need.

 

That aside, thanks to the worldwide Koha list I have found a fellow Koha library just down the road!

 

Cheers

Tena koutou

 

We are struggling to understand the way individual branches work. We would like to create an independent branch to issue laptops to students (and departmental resources later) which will not be affected by how many library books students have overdue. I have tried setting circulation rules in the laptop issues branch to be completely different to those in our library but this has not worked. Are we able to define differing borrow rules for the same patron at different libraries. Could someone direct me to more complete instructions on how the overdues systems work or how circulation rules work.

 

We are still using 3.2 but will be migrating to 3.6 in the New Year.

 

Thanks
