[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] sub libraries

[Marjolein Kremer]

Hi Dan,

It would look like this:

Consortium IISG
   System 1: IISG
      Branch 1: IISG
          Sub-Library :a (collection code)
      Branch 2: NEHA                

The IISH uses 1300 collection codes. We would like to use the Sub-Library level for them if that is possible.

Hi Marjolein:

To my knowledge, there's no effective limit. There are library
consortiums with around 300 branches (sub libraries) listed in a single
instance, for example. Of course, those are spread through a number of
systems in the organizational hierarchy; for example:

Consortium
  * System 1
    * Branch 1
    * Branch 2
  * System 2
    * Branch 3
    * Branch 4
      * Sub-library a
      * Sub-library b

I'm not sure that anybody has tried creating 300 branches all under a
single system, for example.

How many were you thinking of creating, and in what sort of structure?
