[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Copy Count Display

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Joan,

My understanding is that the OPAC invisible copies should be included in 
the copy counts in the client. I just did a brief test and found that 
Lost copies were part of the copy count in the client, even though it 
wasn't in the public catalog.

However, from reading your question, it sounds like it's really related 
to showing counts for an OU that is a child of the search OU. In your 
example, then, if the user is searching Pepperell, they would see the 
count for the Pepperell Lawrence Library, whether that count happens to 
include OPAC visible items or not.

The quick answer is that you currently can't do that, but I could see 
this being a Wishlist bug in Launchpad. I think it would need to 
consider the user's preferred library. If there are many children for 
your search org unit, the catalog would need to know which branch's copy 
count to display. I could see something that shows the copy count for 
the user's preferred library if it is a child of the search org unit. 
Also adding a note that those copies should already be displaying at the 
top of the list of holdings.
