EVERGREEN LOAN RULES:
With Evergreen 2.1 the weighted tables should be able to be changed. The table is presently so large it needs a search feature and at present only has administrator access. At this time, policy changes are not necessary. Waiting to see how the new version of Evergreen addresses the issue. It was recommended to convene the CIRC group to review patron types and to standardize. An invite on the WIKI will be issued.
