[Wactclc-alma] Options for books on display in Alma

[Holland-Stone, Stirling]

Hi everyone,

At LWTech we're currently looking at options for marking books as being On Display when they're away from their proper shelves.

I used to work for a library that had a staff account named Display that, when items were checked out to it, they would display in the catalog as in the image below. Unfortunately, that library uses SirsiDynix, so I can't just borrow from their system, although I'd love to duplicate it in Alma if possible.

How does everyone else handle items that are on display?
