[Evergreen-general] Sharing plans for changing library selector in Angular staff catalog

[Miller, Jeremy]

Another…

A library building is undergoing remodeling or repairs, during which part of the collection has been stored in a way (or at a location) that is not readily accessible to the public.  But staff still needs to be able to see what is there.

Have actually done that twice here in our system.  Have also seen it done at others.

I can think of several:

- Library joining a consortium. Most any migration workflow I can imagine will result in a period of at least a few days, and sometimes longer, where an OU exists and has holdings attached to it but shouldn't be visible in the OPAC, but where staff nonetheless need to be able to do staff-side searches limited to that OU.
- Library opening a new branch with an opening day collection. This could lead to an even longer period where the OU exists but is not yet ready to be visible to patrons
- An explicitly hidden or resource collection

Does NOBLE have OUs that are completely disused?

Regards,

Galen
