Item types are used to group related items. Examples of item types are books, cds, and DVDs.
When adding to your institutions catalogue you will create an item of a particular item type.
Importantly item types are what you apply circulation rules to. Circulation rules govern how your institution will lend its items, for example a circulation rule applied to the DVD item type may enforce a payment of $1.00 for borrowing any DVD.
