<DIV>Thanks, Kurt</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do you know if they had to make a change to the coding, or is it something that can be done out of the box?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The "Not for loan" status is controlled by an "Authorized value" in administration - which only appears to allow you to create new wordings to go with the status of not for loan - rather than change behaviours. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I set up an "Available - Non-circulating" value, items with that status still show on the results screen as "unavailable". I note that this doesn't happen in your catalogue with your example.</DIV>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">However we think this is possibly a bit confronting for our users when what we're trying to say is that the item is *available* - but only within the library. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

However there are many items that we would like to make not for loan that don't neatly fit into a particular item type (eg. second copies of some reports, etc.), and which we'd like to keep as part of one of the other item types for reporting purposes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
