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

[John Rutherford <aw8721 at wayne dot edu>]

you should be able to have Innovative alter your request rules to take 
care of this so they
are not requestable. If you have the Advanced system Administration you 
can do this
without their help also.

Sometimes it is easier to do this if you have an item record attached 
with a specific location, but
it can be done with other elements also. We have a lot of ebooks in the 
catalog but they are
not requestable.
