RE: New books on display

["Todd Humble" <THUMBLE at nrhtx dot com>]

Permanent location codes, opac messages for not permanent modifiers,
previously discussed, but essentially mass removed on a schedule or
individually for displays... opac displays "423.34 JIM  NEW BOOKS", etc.

Linda:

We use the permanent location for the book and a status of New Book
Shelf. 
When Loan Services staff periodically remove books from the New Book
Shelf, 
they check them in and clear the status, at which point the item reverts
to 
the default status of hyphen.  This is fast, easy and provides useful 
information to patrons and staff who may be looking for a particular
title. 
It also avoids "pseudo-checkouts."  If a title is checked out and then 
returned, it does not return to New Book Shelf but is simply shelved in
its 
permanent location.
