Fine Levels

Every copy has a flag called "fine_level" that determines the level with which the item 
circulates, within a pre-determined range of levels.  By default, copies are set to "normal".  
If a copy has been manually altered to "high" or "low", the fine level will change according 
to the table below.  For example, if a given item circulates at $.10/day (based on the circ 
modifier, MARC, etc.) and the item flag is changed to have a "high" fine_level, then it will 
circulate at $.50 / day.  

The "Recurring Fine" column in the following section "Default Circulation Matrix" lists the 
"normal" level for the given type of item
high normal low

Max Fine Levels

Special User Groups

Users in the following groups (or sub-groups) accrue no fines on circulations: "Staff", "Trustee", "Outreach"

All items circulating to "Outreach" users have a loan duration of 2 months with 2 renewals

Holds Logic

The following scenarios will prevent hold placement. Note, however, that many of these events may be overridden by staff with sufficient permissions. Also, title-level holds, for example, may have many potential copies. The tests below would be run against each potential copy until all tests succeed or no usable copies are found.

Copy Status Holdability
Age protection

Each item (copy) has an "age_protect" flag which may be set to 3 month, 6 month, or none.

Note that an item with "3 month" protection automatically becomes "6 month" protected while the item is between 3 and 6 months old.
