<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">we'd be interesting to hear how other libraries using Koha deal with the display of items marked "not for loan".<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">If you give an item the status of "not for loan" in the item record (items.notforloan = 1) the display in the OPAC is "No items available"
(in red), the same as if all items are on loan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">However we think this is possibly a bit confronting for our users when what we're trying to say is that the item is *available* -
but only within the library. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">However if you get rid of the not for loan status and rely on, say, a public note, there is no flag at checkout that the item is not
meant for loan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I know this can also be controlled using item types - our Reference and Rare Books item types display as "Available" on the OPAC,
but present a flag if you attempt to loan them out. However there are many items that we would like to make not for loan that don't neatly fit into a particular item type (eg. second copies of some reports, etc.), and which we'd like to keep as part of one
of the other item types for reporting purposes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
