[Koha] Koha in schools, cataloguing teacher resources

[clint.deckard]

Marc, Robin and Riley thank you for the assistance. I appreciate it.

The OpacHiddenItems does achieve the result but has the downside that 
teachers would need to login to the staff client to search for teaching 
resources. Not a show stopper but a small barrier.
Also, when a search returns just one result a 404 page is displayed as 
per Bug 9944. Again, not a big problem as this would be a rare occurrence.

Enhancement Bug 10589 would be a great improvement, and has no downsides 
that I can see.

Clint.
