| | Print Journals (Only Physical Pieces) are checked-in for a periodical and the system is not set to create items to represent them. The librarian might be waiting to bind those things until they have enough pieces to bind and creating items may require them to be deleted once bound. The librarian wants these pieces to show in discovery as expected and ultimately as received until 1 item is created to represent them. These items would live on the self and be available for use even though there is no item record. These many be for circulation or for internal use. - When the librarian receives these pieces they might add a public note when they indicate they want them piece to display publicly

| | Patron comes to reference desk because they can't find something. Librarian wants to confirm it has been received, identify what bound volume it is included (If it has been bound yet) in and find out where that bound volume or loose issue is in the library. These librarian often will not be accessing the ILS system and Acquisitions data as they may not have creds/perms/training. |
| | Patron wants to confirm a material has been received, identify what bound volume it is included (If it has been bound yet) in and find out where that bound volume or loose issue is in the library. It would not be ideal for the pieces to display in order of receipt but rather to display based on Enumeration and Chronology. |
| | Also helpful to display the pieces that are not yet received but are expected. Ideally, it is clear that these are not yet received. Showing the expected receipt date is probably not that valuable to patrons because of the reality of processing etc. At least necessary to be able to indicate we do not want the expected date to display. |
| | For some legal materials (Integrated materials) there will never be an item representing the piece being received. It may be a pocket part etc. and librarians will still need to be able to identify whether it has been received or not. This information is also displayed in discovery. A lot of pocket parts are also temporary so we would need to mask the parts that have expired. Must be able to uncheck display to the public for a given piece. |
| | Librarian may reference the receipt date as a means of troubleshooting why nothing has been received recently. |
| | Patron wants to see info for a particular title. The item may have been created for the piece but holding with provide additional information about what makes up that item. Eg. the Current year's version of chapter two has been received and added to it. For loose leaf, this would be important for illustrating that a title is in fact complete. Eg. It contains all pages from the initial version as well as all 30 updates that have happened since. |
