RE: Loan Rule Determiner

["Rutherford, John (Library)" <Rutherford@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it is more common to structure the rule
table using primarily location and patron type
to select loan rules. Most of our rules are based
on that. There are a few cases where we use item
types also, but that is rare. But our item types
basically are used only for statistical purposes.

The location doesn't matter to our system.  We were told to use ????? for
the location.

In our library we are updating our circulation system to reflect better the 
different patron categories. In the process we are reviewing the Loan Rule 
Determiner and adding new patrons and locations.
During the meeting, some of our colleagues argued that the location is not 
necessary on the table, given the fact that the circulation of an item is 
determined by the patron type, item type and loan rule number.
I argued that all four categories are necessary to be listed in order to
have 
the circulation module function properly.
If anybody has opinions on this please reply.
