[aisle] Storage Books in Destiny?

[Meyer, Gail]

Question for Destiny users – do any of you have extra copies of books you keep in storage? For example, I have 14 copies of Graceling by Kristen Cashore. These are kind of thick books and I don’t have the shelf space to hold all 14 at once, so I keep some in our back room to pull out as needed.  And when I booktalk it, we may NEED all 14 copies so I don’t want to withdraw them.  Is there an easy way to mark these titles or copies in Destiny so we know they’re in the back?


  *   There’s no status for “storage” or anything similar
  *   Adding a sublocation means you have to keep track of which specific copies came from the back and which from the regular shelf
  *   Maybe a note to pop up when the title is checked in that this copy came from storage? But then the catalog won’t reflect that location when you do a search…
  *   And we honestly don’t care WHICH specific copy is on the shelf and which is in the back – I’m just looking for an easy way to let my aide/subs know there’s more of this book, or to let students know they might need to ASK for this book since they may not see a copy on the shelf.


Any ideas or suggestions?  I’m afraid checking them out to a fake patron might screw up circ stats (we’re talking over 100 books), and then it would say “checked out” when you look at the catalog.
