[Bas Otting]

Thanks for all the advice on the closed stacks topic. 

We need some time to figure out how we can solve the problem using the suggestions you have offered.

We will get back on this soon.

Thanks for now!

 

Kind regards,

Since Mike and Jason have commented, I think George is correct and the alert message is the best way for you to handle this, at least until 1.6.1. You can globally add the alert message to your records using the item status (F5) interface -- then actions for catalogers -- edit item attributes. You can upload txt files of barcodes into the interface, so using it is quicker than the copy buckets. In PINES, there is a limit of around 200 barcodes that can be in the file. I don't know if this is a limit that can be changed  or if it is PINES specific for some reason, someone else may know.

Let me know if you decide to add the alert message and need further instructions on using the global editing. I will warn you to make sure the trim list option in item status is unchecked and that you test with a small file. You cannot abort the import once it starts and would have to acknowledge an error for each entry, so make sure your barcodes are valid and that the file is formatted correctly before you import a large file.

Make them circulating so they will be holdable but don’t check them out to
patron. Also attach an alert message: "Non-circulating/Reading Room Use
Only" in case a staff member does attempt to check it out to a patron. Would
that work?
