I don't think there's a workaround for getting order record info into 
a briefcit display.

Hmmm.  We don't use the holdingsmsg token, but I added it to briefcit 
on our staging port, and I'm seeing the same thing you're seeing, 
which I think is incorrect behavior.  You have status "o" in your 
availlim_stats wwwoption, which should mean that anything with the 
status "library use only" should show as available.  (Unless the 
manual is completely wrong about how this token works.)

Note that in both of our systems the "Limit search to available 
items" search limit is observing the availlim_stats wwwoption;  it's 
just the holdingsmsg token that seems out of whack.
