We have a similar situation with a different proprietary ILL software in Kansas. We also use the 952$q. When an item is checked out, the 952$q has a date and the ILL software registers that as unavailable. When it's not checked out, the field is empty and the ILL software registers it as available. That means the only status we can report to the ILL software is 'Checked out'. If an item is lost, withdrawn, etc., requests can still be made. Along with the other systems that use Koha in Kansas, we have worked with ByWater on this. You can see the details here: https://bugs.koha- community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13937. The basic idea is that whenever a z39.50 request is made, Koha will populate a status into a singular subfield that can be mapped and read by the external ILL software.
