Re: synchronization of locations

["Zahavi, Naomi" <nzahavi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Michaela,

We link both our permanent and temporary reserve item locations to a bib 
reserve location.

In our system, when an item is put on temporary reserve, the permanent item 
location is temporarily suppressed.  When that item is taken off of 
reserve, the permanent item location reappears.  There is no need to save 
it elsewhere.  Since we run links maintenance several times a week, the bib 
locations get updated to reflect where the item is now.

Hope this helps.

Naomi
