(This may already exist but I'm not aware of it. This would be
of greater importance if acquisitions was in xhtml and there was
a chance that someone would add a book from their cell phone.
But others might find it useful.

<pre wrap="">strange thing indeed. Does someone else have something like this ?
Don't you misunderstood what means : "patrons should be able to find
biblios without items in the opac, to see that the book will arrive soon
", as i think it's what you ask for ?

<pre wrap=""><!---->
My library (on Dynix) for many years, uses a negative-number barcode for items
ordered, not received. Patrons are able to place holds, and further staff
know not to place redundant orders (we have 800+ staff members) ...
Very much prefereable not to have to "fake" the barcode but to just have
records with blanks. "Fake" barcodes also have to follow check digit logic,
etc. There are a finite number of such - and our collections are approaching
1,000,000 items, with +/- 2M calatogue entries.
