[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] New install problem with settings

[Mary Toma]

We have 4 branches.  Our patron cards work in any branch and we can pull
statistics for each branch - circulation statistics as well as patron
statistics.  When patrons are registered they are assigned a "home library".
Sorry, I don't know the hows and wherefores of the setup but I know it
works.

I think so.  If I used this, all of our patrons and all of our items
would belong to the main branch and we would use the shelving location
to show where each item is being housed as in 'Mid-City branch fiction'
or 'East-Side Branch picture books'.  Is that correct?

If so, my next question is how does this affect circulation statistics?
Would I still be able to ask for a count of items checked out at
Mid-City branch?

Thank you.
