We've had some libraries accidentally make bibliographic items bookable
(well, I'm calling it accidental. I suspect it was an attempt to see what
would happen). We would like to remove them from being a bookable
resource, since they are visible with any library's login, but have not
been able to do so at any permission level. While we can delete a non-bib
item from the bookable resource type in the server administration
interface, the bib records don't delete. We thought perhaps they were
booked and this was preventing their deletion; but, that is not the case.
So, our questions are -- can we remove a bib item from resource types
and, if so, how? Basically, what are we missing?
Hello Elaine,
I think you'll be able to delete the "resource type" entries if you
first delete all the related "resource" entries in the interface which
you find by following these staff client menus: Admin -> Server
Administration -> Booking -> Resources.
Also, if I recall correctly, it is possible not to run the Evergreen
booking service (a server-side configuration change). Not running the
booking service won't gracefully hide all the buttons and links in the
staff client that lead to booking features, but it will prevent those
features from working.
Another, less dramatic option to prevent items from being made bookable
again would be to make sure that nobody has either the
"ADMIN_BOOKING_RESOURCE_TYPE" or the "ADMIN_BOOKING_RESOURCE" permission.
Hope this helps,
