Identifying patron categories
Unless your library is just starting up, you will already have your list of patron
categories. However, you might consider modifying the list to take advantage of
some of Koha's capabilities.
The key question here is do you have, or anticipate groups of patrons that have
distinct characteristics. We need to assess if these groups are different in
one or
more of following ways:
Enrolment duration
Enrolment fee
Age restrictions
Loan periods
Maximum checkouts allowed
Fine amounts
