| Duke University | | - This is a first pass at rules to enable some basic loan import - we expect to have many more rules before we go live
- We have a central library system and professional school libraries that all share an ILS, but the professional school libraries have different rules, so the main organizing principle is location
- Beyond location, we're still trying to decide if we will group by material type or patron group
- we do expect to use loan type to enforce special circulation scenarios (like library use only)

| Saint Michael's College | | - We chose to organize our rules primarily around locations and patron groups
- We use loan types to handle our Reserves
| Summer 2021 | Stacey Knight |
| Texas A&M University | | - Large multi-library system, using location, loan type, and patron type
- Some locations charge fines, some do not
- Complex rules around media and equipment circulation that differs (somewhat) by location

| Missouri State University | MO_State_Circ_Rules_07_28_21.txt | - Our initial approach was to use loan types to replace our location-based rules from our previous system. From there we apply policies, predominantly, based on patron group.
- Initially, we had a very simple rule-set, but we had to create additional patron groups for non-circulation reasons and account for those in our rules, which makes our definitions longer than we'd like
- We had to expand our patron groups, again, to account for the need to limit the ability of some "local" patrons to page items from their home libraries. This also increased the size of our various group rule definitions and required us to increase the total number of rules, overall.
