Rogan and all,

The screenshot below is what I mean. We have libraries in our consortium that do this at this time and I'm wondering if it will cause issues. It certainly seems like it would cause statistical issues, but maybe some others as well?

Hi Kate,

If I'm undestanding your question correctly it's not possible.  The circulating library is an item attribute and requires an org unit id or it can't save the entry in the database.  The owning library as others have noted is a volume / call number attribute and has the same restriciton to not allow null values.

Speaking of brains unwilling to compute...

If a multi-branch system (which additionally belongs to a large consortium) chooses to only use the owning library section for their items and leave the circulating library blank, are their negative repercussions for that?

Stuart,

The “circulation library” is the library that owns the material.  This doesn’t change (unless someone cedes ownership).  The “checkout/renew library” is the library that is circulating that item at any given moment.  The labeling for libraries is confusing.

Hi

This may sound a simple question to some, but my brain seems unwilling to compute!

So if a book that has been placed on hold that has a Circulating Library of ‘LibraryA’ is then transitted to ‘LibraryB’ where the hold is being fulfilled. Does the circulating library temporarily change to ‘LibraryB’ so that library gets the circulation? I’m thinking of circ reports now. Or would it be better to use Checkout Library instead to capture all circulations at ‘LibraryB’

Hopes this makes sense to someone as I am not quite understanding it.

Thanks
Much
Stuart
