Deliver
:::There is a difference between deliver to a circulation desk for use in the rooms of the library (presentation) and for loaning. Deliver to an office or at home is a different kind of service that implies loan. To distinguish deliver to circulation desk and self-pick up with open-access shelving we may need another method. -- [[User:JakobVoss|JakobVoss]] 01:39, 23 October 2009 (PDT)
 
:::: Hmm. I hear you. But we have some items for some patrons that can be checked out, but you've got to go get them from the stacks yourself. There are other items for certain patrons that can be checked out, and you can click a button and have them waiting at the circ desk. There are other items that can be checked out, and you can have them delivered to your office. The end result of all of these things could be considered a 'loan' -- but it matters to the user which of these things are available, the difference in convenience may effect their decision of whether to access the item at this time or not. How should this be encoded in DAIA so it can be presented to the user? I'm trying to take a stab at it, I hear your critique, but I'm still not sure the better way to do it.
