Chad,

Why not collection code?  I think you can use CCODE values in opachiddenitems.

Just curious as to how other libraries set up staff only collections. I

am overthinking this. We'd like to create a collection for librarian-led
programs, Eg., movie night, program kits ...etc.

Such that:

    - Hidden in OPAC via OPACHiddenItems
    - Easily searchable by staff
    - Non-floating
    - No reserves or checkouts allowed except to staff

I see 2 - 3 possibilities:

    - Item Type
    - Location or branch "Staff Collection"
    - Some combination of the 2 (?)

I'm not a fan of using item type as it complicates the role and meaning (
taxonomic ) of item type for material classification so I'm leaning towards
creating a branch and assigning rules to this branch. Shelving location
does not offer the same flexibility, correct? I don't see a way to set
rules by shelving location. That would be ideal as this collection is
housed at an existing branch.

Thank you!
