Wellesley College is undergoing a major library renovation. All collections have been moved to remote storage for the duration, barring a small number of materials held back for teaching. We have applied temporary locations for all Item records (and journal/serial Holding records as they have no Item records). During our spot checking to make sure we caught everything, we found oddities stemming from bound-with items. Because bound-withs in the FOLIO data structure consist of one Item record attached to multiple Holdings records, the temporary location is only being applied to the parent/primary Holding record and not the other Holding records. Not an ideal situation for managing and providing accurate locations of our materials.

• Example 1:  Bound-with with 2 titles
• Example 2: Bound-with with 5 titles

What is being presented to the end user is extremely confusing when they can see that one title is available but another is not.  Wellesley College used VuFind as the library catalog.

1. Is this what we are expecting (or wanting) to see in our discovery layers?
2. Do we need to rethink the implementation of Bound-with handling in FOLIO and change to a one Item record & one Holding record attached to multiple Instance records?
