Description Nicole C. Engard 2014-05-12 14:21:46 UTC
The AllowMultipleIssuesOnABiblio preference says: Allow/Don't Allow patrons to check out multiple items from the same record, except for records with subscriptions. 

I think what it means is that patrons will be allowed to check out multiple copies on subscriptions regardless of which option you choose but it if you choose 'Allow' with the preference the way it is now. It implies that I won't be able to check out multiple copies if it's a subscription.

That is indeed how I read it.
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2014-05-13 19:35:57 UTC
Hm, sorry if the wording is misleading, the behaviour is:

You will always be able to checkout out multiple copies of a record tht has a subscription linked to it (assuming different serial issues).

The pref will allow/disallow multiple checkouts for records without a subscription and only changes behaviour for those.

Comment 4 Nick Clemens 2014-06-04 22:28:55 UTC
Perhaps I am being obtuse, but if it is set to 'Don't allow' then reading the language (and not knowing Allow is the default) would make it seem that records with subscriptions would be stuck at 'Don't Allow'

Maybe: "(Allow/Don't Allow) patrons to check out multiple items from the same record. (NOTE: Multiple issues are always allowed on records with a subscription attached.)"

I think there is a typo: effect/affect ?
"This will only affect records ..." sounds better for me.
