Linda, If I understand what you're asking right .... items that are marked as not for loan will not have the hold link showing on the search results or the details page. If the bib record has one item for loan and one not for loan then the link does show up, but it will not let people place a hold on the 'not for loan' item. Is that what you're asking? Nicole C.

All, I was wondering how libraries with open-shelf reference materials are handling the "Place a Hold" link in the search results page (opac-search.pl). As of this instant (and we're a "work in progress") , we have "Copies available for reference" meaning they are open shelf and not on loan (i.e. reference materials like encyclopedias, etc) and "Copies available for loan"
It's a bit wordy, and we may need to come up with a way of saying which reference room location they are in, because we have 3. You can see that if you click on the opac-detail, but it might be nice to have it on the search results page?
Anyway, my real question, does anyone else have a "problem" (okay, not a problem, but an "issue"?) with materials having only reference copies, and then having the hold link? The "Sorry none of these items can be placed on hold" is okay, but I was thinking about maybe some javascript to hide the Hold link if there are no copies available for loan.
Thanks in advance. -- Linda Culberson lculber@mdah.state.ms.us Archives and Records Services Division Ms. Dept. of Archives & History P. O. Box 571 Jackson, MS 39205-0571 Telephone: 601/576-6873 Fax: 601/576-6824
