Each holding record must be assigned to a group to establish the item’s circulation parameters. Item groups may exist for many item types, such as general collection, periodicals, equipment, or reference. The following settings are established in the item group:
-
General – establishes identification information such as name and description of the group
-
Circulation Periods – sets circulation time frames and fine amounts for the group
-
Members –displays, adds items to or removes from the group; allows for editing of individual bibliographic or holding records within the group
-
Group Access – specifies which patron groups have access to the group
