[IUG] Holds placed on electronic resources (specifically NetLibrary audiobooks)

["Donna Peterson" <dpeterson at co dot carver dot mn dot us>]

We have a subscription through OCLC for NetLibrary audiobooks. Once a
month I download another 30-40 NetLibrary audiobook bibliographic
records from OCLC. These are just bib records with no item records added
to them. We keep having patrons place holds on these titles instead of
clicking on the link which takes them to the NetLibrary site and allows
them to download the audiobook. Is there any way to place a block on the
bib record if there is no item record so that patrons are unable to
place a hold?

Please make note of new email address!
