[ILL-L] Custom holdings groups

[joseph augustin]

Hi,
     I code our lending groups' names based on five factors: fee by material
type, payment method, distance, and special conditions.  This helps us to
sort them locally, as well as in WorldCat.

For example, if an Illinois library charges $10 IFM for copies, lends books
out of state for free, but only fills requests if their OCLC symbol is
listed twice in the lender string, that library is assigned to two groups:

one group for copies, "10IFMC2X," and another for books, "FRBKMW2X."

I Hope This Is Helpful,
     ~Joe
