Re: [IUG] Block Ptype from Checking out

Tyra,

We issue one card.  Within our loan rules, loan rule matrix we set our
items owned by our Bookmobile Branch to circ for 14 days instead of 21
since that is what our Bookmobile rotation schedule is for each stop.
We also do not charge fines for items owned by Bookmobile.  Materials
borrowed from our other 10 branches to be delivered by Bookmobile are
checked out for the normal loan periods and fines do apply. At the point
of checkout the customer is given this information.  For Bookmobile
materials sent to our other branches at checkout the circulation staff
inform the customer of the shorten loan and circ staff can extend the
loan if needed.  For self checkout machines the 14 day checkout period
will apply.

As loan rules are determined by the matrix of location, patron type, and
material type couldn't a single card handle both situation as long as
bookmobile books are a separate location? Mark Bayles, Chapel Hill

Does anyone know if it is possible to block particular PTYPES from
circulation activity at certain Branches?
 
We issue a different color of library card to Bookmobile patrons.  They
are supposed to use this card ONLY on the Bookmobile, and maintain a
second "regular" card for use in any Branch.  The reason was different
loan periods on the Bookmobile vs. buildings.  In any case, staff
recognize the special card by color.  The self-check machine does not
and so it is allowing checkouts on the Bookmobile card.
 
It looks like you could do this through the patron blocks table IF you
are a consortium, but we're not, and I've been unable to find a way.
 
Thanks!
Tyra
