- circulates is indicated by the loan type
- belongs to the Methodist Library, Reference Collection, Special Collections, or Theses & Dissertations or is a thesis or a dissertation is indicated by the call number's location
- is online will be indicated by the instance format (online resource)
- is an ETD is indicated by a combination of the instance's format and dissertation note (502)
- note that online stuff will have neither call numbers (no location) nor items (no material types)
- belongs to the GCAH, even tho it is in Drew's Circulating Collection is , can be indicated by an item tag
...FOLIO's material types should not attempt to cover all of those bases. Another thing to take into consideration is that item types were limited to ten upper-case characters w/out spaces but FOLIO's material types are not. FOLIO's USGOVDOCS could be US Government Document (note that all of the other item types are singular.)
The item type known as SPECIAL was set up so that those items would not be able to circ in the ILS where SPECIAL is not mentioned in the circ map. I suggest that we give them the material type "book" and the loan type "reading room" so that the option to "check books out", and collect usage statistics, is available to the folks who work in the Wilson Reading Room.

So, I propose the The following list of material types . Some (some are consistent with RDA carrier types and others with ISBD material designations. We can add to this list later - right now it just has to include everything that is coming out of the ILS.) have been created via API using /opt/folio/api/POST/mtypes.pl

Walter will consider not just the item type but also other attributes such as location, call number, RDA content, media, and carrier types when deciding which material type to assign to each item.
One potential problem with online stuff not having locations will be what is now E-REF. Instances can also have tags which might get the job done here since Reference is a one dimensional thing.
What to do with these?

Online titles will not have call numbers with locations or items with material types like E-REF. In order to identify online titles as belonging to a group such as Reference or US Gov Docs we could assign relevant instance tags: e.g. Online, Reference, USGovDoc, etc. If we decide to use these we should assign all that apply to all: all USGovDocs get the USGovDoc tag and all that are online also get the Online tag.
Then there is the notBibliographic stuff: perhaps Perhaps we could have one title, as generic as possible, and an item/barcode for each individual thing? What it is (room key, locker key, USB, etc) could be in an ASIS call number and the description of what it is, or which room it unlocks, could be put in an item note.
- title: Circulating Realia
- call number: locker keys (location: Level C Reserves)
- item: locker #23 (material type: room/locker key)
- item: locker #24
- call number: remote controls
- item: the TV in Guy's cave (material type: av equipment)
- item: the TV in the Tech classroom
- call number: room keys
- item: the Cornell room
KITs are a mixed bag - some are USBs and others are books w/CDs, etc. For the books w/etc I'd like to make them books and follow up later to add additional items for each additional thing. Are USB flash drives av equipment? And then a few are just kits.
