    Description:
    We are having problems checking out items that belong to other sub-libraries in v.18 even though tab_attr_sub_library has not changed between v.16 and v.18 (except we moved the file from alephe/tab to usm50/tab). The IP addresses and list of allowed libraries has not changed and yet we are getting the error "This stations (IP address) cannot loan items belonging to..." We do not get the error for all of the libraries allowed in the list, only some of the libraries allowed in the list.

    I can checkout books from ONL for ERC and LAW but I cannot checkout books from NEDL, NRC, K-C, BAPST, SWK. Other circ librarians in this IP range (136.167.68.*) cannot check items from other sub-libraries. Also, the LAW circ librarian (IP 136.167.160.208) cannot checkout books belonging to ONL. What's going on?

    Resolution:
    While it appears that you were able to add sublibraries beyond column 7 in v16, it's possible that v18 doesn't allow this. While this doesn't occur in *all* cases, it seems for many of the sublibraries that 136.167.068.244 cannot loan from (i.e. NEDL, NRC, K-C, BAPST, SWK) coincidentally these sublibraries are listed in the table after column 7. You currently have:

    ! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!
    136.167.068.* 1 ONL ERC GEO GOV LAW MICRO NEDL NRC BAPST SWK K-C

    I would suggest that you re-configure this line into 3 lines (none of which go beyond column 7):

    ! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!>
    136.167.068.* 1 ONL ERC GEO GOV LAW
    1 MICRO NEDL NRC BAPST SWK
    1 K-C

    Regarding "the LAW circ librarian (IP 136.167.160.208) cannot checkout books belonging to ONL," the sublibraries for IPs 136.167.160.* and 136.167.*.* also exceed column 7:

    ! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!
    136.167.160.* 1 LAW SWK GEO GOV K-C ERC MICRO NEDL NRC ONL BAPST
    136.167.*.* 1 ONL ERC GEO GOV LAW MICRO NEDL NRC BAPST SWK K-C


    I would suggest that you re-configure this line into 3 lines (none of which go beyond column 7):

    ! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!>
    136.167.160.* 1 LAW SWK GEO GOV K-C
