Description:
I see references to both "usr_library" and "user library"? Are these different? If so, how?

Resolution:
Both of these terms were introduced with version 16.

The usr_library is the library containing the shared patron information (z61, z303, z304, z308, and z353). For demo library (USMnn) access, the system uses the USR00 library as the usr_library. For your own libraries, the system takes the value from the "setenv usr_library" in aleph_start.

"User library" is found in the following field names: Z303-USER-LIBRARY, Z308-USER-LIBRARY, Z353-USER-LIBRARY, and Z66-USER-LIBRARY. For the Z303, Z308, and Z353, when tab100 USER-SHARING is "N", the "user library" is an ADM library; when it is "Y", the "user library" is blank. The Z66-USER-LIBRARY is the staff member's ADM library. If the staff member uses multiple ADM libraries, then it is set to "ADMIN".
