Available vs restricted vs not-for-loan
My chief librarian is trying to properly show books in the special collections area on the search page. We do have some books which are not available since they are stored off-site, usually second or third copies. Some books are rare and are not for loan, but they are available in the library. Others are restricted in that they are available and can be borrowed with the permission of the chief librarian or someone she designates. When I specify any value in field 7 (not for loan) the Location column on the search results says: 1 item No items available 1 unavailable ...Lent by permission (or some such) which my chief librarian finds confusing, since it is available How can I show the books as available for use in the library, and may be lent by permission? How do you treat reference books? They are available for reference but not for loan. -- Bob
