Comment 25 for bug 1753536

Jennifer, my understanding is that in this case, circ_lib is the circ_lib from the asset.copy. Unfortunately, both the asset.copy and action.circulation tables have columns with that name and they mean different things. If you want the action.circulation.circ_lib to display, that is not the intention of this enhancement and would complicate this setting further.

The goal of this improvement is to identify the library that the patron should contact if they run out of of renewals, etc. If that is their home library and NOT the library that owns the copy, then this field is of little to no value and should not be displayed. I likewise think this field to be of little utility if the library that the patron should contact is the library where they checked the copy out. It may serve some purpose in this case if the patron frequently uses multiple locations. There are some patrons who regularly do this.

As for copy circ_lib versus call number owning_lib, I think there was a good deal of discussion on that matter in earlier comments on this bug.

We will await clarification on what others mean by "circ_lib" before proceeding to do anything further with this branch.
