Hi Peter



..... of course Peter, in your own system go to <> Home › Administration ›
Item types › Add item type.

Apologies for adding a live link in my previous email and forwarding my
email with incomplete instructions.



And further instructions for OPAC record suppression:

Procedure:

1.  Create a new class of authorised values: SUPPRESS; create value 0 with
description Not Suppressed; create value 1 with description Suppressed.

2.  Amend every MARC framework to link subfield 942$n to the Authorised
Value class SUPPRESS.

3.  Set the system preference Cataloging / OpacSuppression to 'Hide' (at
this point, until you execute the next steps, OPAC searches are broken).

4.  Edit the records to be suppressed: set subfield 942$n to the authorised
value 'Suppressed'.

5.  Rebuild Zebra (this is necessary for an initial build of the required
index).

6.  Test that OPAC searches in general are not broken.  Test that the
suppressed records are not returned by OPAC search.

A suppressed record will be found by a search in the staff client but not
by a search in the OPAC.  Note the entire record is suppressed including
all items.

Once this is set up, then the catalogue must contain at least one
suppressed item, or OPAC searches will be broken.

Hope this helps.

Create a dedicated new item type (for example "Staff only resource" or
"School records" ....) and tick the 1. Hide in OPAC option.

Decide on 2. Not for loan option.



Hope this helps.
