Hi Filip and All,

I will not be on the call tomorrow. Let me try to explain the two Lehigh scenarios on the conflict page (four lines two scenarios). The first is a simple case of a fixed due date; as the calendar progresses the due date changes. Just curious about how this will work. Perhaps just a matter of setting the first line to be inactive on a certain date.

The second scenario is the one I mentioned at the end of the last call. Due to some emergency circumstance, we want to supersede the normal circulation of a special collection with a short term rule; don't circ this collection for x period of time! In the logic of a cascade this is easy to do without rewriting or deleting lines (which you would want to reinstate after the special circumstance) - you just write the short term rule and position it appropriately. So, in the logic of priority how do you accomplish this without removing or rewriting lines?

Put me on record as believing the priority logic can work for us but since none of us have administered a system with this logic it is hard to anticipate the possible conflicts.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Thanks for filling out the spreadsheet.

There is actually nothing in the matrix you guys filled out that contradicts the concept we all agreed on a few meetings back. Accidentally one of the headers says Loan Rule instead of Loan Type, and so the example from Duke would be resolved by the Priorities Window.

The peach colored rows from Lehigh I am not sure I understand - could someone elaborate on those?

Also, Wendy, you mentioned something in our last meeting about wanting to set up a loan rule for a small collection in the library that overrides another rule set up for its parent collection - is that reflected in this table? Or can you elaborate on that example in a reply on email?

I am thinking Cate should take over the entire meeting tomorrow and I will spend some time documenting the concept we've discussed as well as try to reach out to some different people one-on-one for detailed discussion of different challenges with the concept. 

Thank you,

Hi,

 

Filip REALLY needs our input to help resolve the confusion that we were having about loan rules and how they should work.  PLEASE put in an example or two so that he has time to review them before we meet tomorrow


So - a reminder to fill out the google doc at: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_document_d_1Er2qFDHiYiw68vEgdJF3gwg-2Dg-5FUu7odTHotTzFCTH0I_edit&d=DwMCaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=rYj3qdYi4__44GzovRfPybpo1FHL6IToHX1oj3zP2R4&m=uEZan8RmoISngtQw6YsmlHuUXMHxMU9R7XXfUrowWu0&s=84f2gWTkQuoM7RzZJuvSYDIR2XEU5FmbGIu50hldYt0&e=
We are using this document to give give Filip examples of potential conflicts for our circ rules. Please provide examples of potential conflict from your institution before end of day 4/12/17. Loan rules will always be prioritized by specificity first (the more specific the rule the higher its ...
Thanks,
