[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds / Circulation question

[Frasur, Ruth]

Stuart,

For reporting, it might not always be as cut and dry as all that.  Depending on what source you’re using, the label might be different.  And it might be used in different places and mean different things there.  It would be good to set up a test where you already know the answer to make sure you’ve picked the right filters for your report.

Thanks, Rogan,

Starting to get clearer.

The main reason for the questions was reporting. If a hold is transitted to another library and a circ report is run. If I filter by Circulation Library of the receiving branch, who gets the circ count or would I be better off using Checkout Library in the report?

Sorry, my brain is fuddled today.

Thanks
Stuart

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.

So I am presuming then that the Owning library is the one that owns the bib record, for the sake of a better term and the circulating library is the one that owns the copy. The checkout library is the one that circulates the copy?

Our owning library is set to BCL and the circulating libraries are set to the individual branches, BCL-BEA, BCL-BLU, etc…

We use Checkout Library for reporting outputs as that’s captured with the circ data.  Circulating Library is an item attribute and does not change without cataloger intervention.

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
