RA SIG 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 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; 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.
