Hi Deana,

Those values are not item attributes, but are defined by circulation policies 
(Admin -> Local Administration -> Circulation Policies).  In turn, circulation 
policies are often based on item attributes, especially circulation modifier 
and/or MARC type.  I would make sure the items have the appropriate circulation 
modifier and make sure there are circulation (and hold) policies in place for 
those circulation modifiers.

Hope that's helpful,

Chris
