More precisely: when a record only contains a damaged item, the OPAC says "Availability: No items available Damaged (1)." as a result of a search, which is misleading for the user, since it is still possible to check that item out.

Hi,

would it be possible to record the damaged status of an item (say, Cover missing) with a nonzero value of the 952$4 MARC subfield, and make the item still available for loan?

Thanks,

Giuseppe.
