RA SIG working have discussed location hierarchy with Vince

• RA is working on loan rules
• RA - hierarchical way of looking at locations
• relationship between shelving locations and circ desks
  • many-to-many or many-to-one
  • how do user permissions fit into this
  • TAMU uses item status codes rather than checking things in/out
• RA believes libraries will need at least most 5 locations layers available in hierarchy
  • use of all five is optional; some libraries won't need that many; labels for layers can be defined locally
• collections - RA question: is collection really a location or something conceptual; ? RA thinking the latter - lives ; collections live outside the hierarchy; do items need to be part of multiple collections? Some libraries have an item owned by multiple institutions; others might have items that are part of multiple collections due to multiple resource sharing and collection agreements.
  • Vince is working on this model
