Check out circulation desk - add filter for home library or statistical group
We have a large consortia set up. Many clients are not required to bring their library card to the library circulation desk/s. When the library staff are searching for patrons with common surnames, quickly identifying their branch's patrons can be difficult - staff suggest adding a filter for home library or limiting the browse to their statistical group in their logins will limit the number of mistaken attempts to open the incorrect borrower record.

I can certainly see the value in this for some locations. In our consortia we tend to have a large number of patrons that will freely move between locations so home library can be a bit less reliable, but even then I could still see this being a helpful way to narrow down searches for common names.
