[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds / Circulation question

[Rogan Hamby]

Hi Stuart,

To echo Anna, the owning library is an attibute of the volume / call number
while the circulating library of the item is going to be the branch the
item actually lives at.  If you use floating collections this can change
without staff intervention but otherwise someone would have to change the
circulating library.  This distinction between circulating and owning
library is often confusing as the owning library trait doesn't have a lot
of obvious impact for end users so it seems redundant and confusing.  It's
not actually redundant but that's a whole other story, it certainly is
confusing to many as you're finding it.

The neither has nothing to do with the bib other than the volume connects
to it but it in part has an owning library so that owning attributes don't
have to be associated with the bib in a consortium where bibs are shared.
