10minItemsEmma BoettcherMissing items, withdrawn items

If an item is missing or withdrawn, can it still be checked out?

15minCall numbersEffective call number block on request recordhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rcXHY-3HoGifjhjJdFVM56Fvev9Znzan

Review effective call number block on request record and decide:
1. Should the label be "Effective call number block" to be consistent with the item record or just call it "Call number" here?
2. Along those lines, for some reason, effective location was labeled "Shelving location" on the request record. Should we change that while we are in here?
3. Call number isn't present as a column in the request search results. Does it need to be?
4. If yes:
--- Does it need to be sortable? Use case?
--- Label?
5. Note: current thinking is that each page displaying the call number block will assemble the correct elements in the correct order (instead of storing the assembled block or creating a shared utility that puts the elements together in a certain way). Why? It sounds to me like institutions may eventually want to be able to configure how their call number blocks display (elements, order, separators). If this is a possibility, we should avoid investing development effort in driving consistency at this point.

RequestsQ4
  1. "Effective call number string", since block has a specific meaning in circulation
  2. Yes rename "Effective location"
  3. No need for column as long as data is in exports and on detail screen
  4. N/A
  5. Okay

SMEs also requested that we move the Effective location down one row and have it to the left of the Effective call number string


LoansEmma BoettcherQ4
  • Ask user to confirm (or override) when checking out a Missing or Withdrawn item. Assign this ability to a specific permission
  • Reusable notes around check in and check out are a nice to have. May be helpful until "needed for" state is implemented, but not worth doing unless it's done well.
  • "Effective call number string" also applies to loans contexts
