[Wactclc-alma] How do you get reserve materials to not be requestable?

[Guidry, Wade]

Just FYI, the setting George points out only prevents on-shelf requests. You could still potentially place holds on items that are checked out (ie, not on-shelf).

I suspect that, in most cases, when you see holds places on items that you think should not be requestable, the issue is with your default request policy.

If your default request policy allows holds, then any item in a requestable fulfillment unit will be requestable, unless it is otherwise prevented by a fulfillment rule.

So, I’d recommend going to the relevant fulfillment unit (like Reserves), then to the fulfillment rules tab, then look at the request rules, and look to see how the default request rule is set up. You may want to set the default request rule to not allow requests.

Just be aware, the default rule will affect all fulfillment units.

At Edmonds, we have a separate fulfillment unit for reserves that does not allow requests...

Hi,

I received two resource request slips today for library use only reserves.  These are supposed to be not requestable.

When I looked at the TOUs I see that we have a request TOU in there that says the 2/4 reserves are not requestable.  Yet, when I log into Primo to test it, it shows that I can request it.

Does it take until the next Alma/Primo update between the systems for this change to take affect?  What am I missing in terms of trying to make the reserve materials that are library use only non-requestable?

Thanks,
Stepahnie
