[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question about Setting up OU Types

[Catherine Buck Morgan]

Actually, I'm not trying to set up the types; I'm trying to set up the
OUs themselves. 

Thanks,

Catherine.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question about Setting up OU Types

 

In our new consortium, we have a couple of libraries (including us) that
don't have any branches. There's just the main library. So what's the
best way to set this up? Obviously SYSID 1 is the Consortium. 

SYSID2 is the Library System. If this is a single library, is this the
level where we would have volumes and users? Is this also the level for
the main HQ for other libraries with branches? Or would the HQ be listed
as a branch, and at the system level would have no users or volumes? 

SYSID 3 is the Branch, which of course has users and volumes. 

Or considering future expansion, would it be better to have the single
library listed at both the system level and the branch level, with the
holdings and users at the branch level? 

I may actually have figured this out while writing this email, but would
still like to hear from others. 

Thanks,

Catherine.
