Create a new Item type

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.
