Description Nicole C. Engard 2013-07-10 13:54:48 UTC
It would be great if there were a way to set up a branch to be a 'private' branch or one that only the staff could see. This would mean suppressing items, facets, any option for that branch in the search or in the holds form or anywhere in the OPAC.  A simple 'is this branch public' on the libraries & groups admin page could control this.

I like this idea. I have been thinking on how to deal with the library accounts, record and items for ILL in installations with multiple branches - a hidden branch might be useful here.

I like this too - it would be a good feature.

We don't have a central switch, but we have several features that you can achieve this with:

* OpacSuppression and OpacHiddenItems
* Libraries: Is a pick-up location
* libraries: Is public

So maybe we can consider this fixed :)

Please reopen if you disagree.
