What is "full circulation mode"? Currently, items showing in my catalog show "Available" but does not show link to checkout or hold. How is this managed in management of the collection?

This sounds like a question related to TinyCat. You might want to check in that group that has specific information regarding circulations:

As >3 gilroy: mentions, the TinyCat Group is the place for this type of question (https://www.librarything.com/ngroups/18541/TinyCat), but I can help.

To enable self-checkout (the "Check out" and/or "Place hold" buttons), you'll need to enable patron accounts on TinyCat. There's one of two types of patron accounts you can have: either Simple Circulation, where all the patrons share one common password, or Full Circulation, where each patron gets their own login.

You can enable patron accounts from your Patron Account Settings on your TinyCat's Admin portal: https://www.librarycat.org/admin/settings/patronaccounts (Help page here: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/TinyCat:_Settings_%C2%BB_Patron_Accounts..., and you can enable your "Check out" and/or "Place hold" buttons from your Circulation Settings: https://www.librarycat.org/admin/settings/circsettings (Help page here: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/TinyCat:_Settings_%C2%BB_Circulation).

You can check out our Tiny Tutorials covering these features on LibraryThing's YouTube channel, as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHdpcxqVcUR4rXciaInacPQ.

Let me know if you have further questions!
