Ah, ok! It looks like I was wrong in my earlier e-mail. The preferred
library does show in the counts, and I see what you're saying. The
non-visible copies display in the counts if the branch is the search
library or for parents of the search library.
However, when the count is for the preferred library, you are correct
that it's not displaying non-visible copies, which is inconsistent with
the other counts.
I would consider this to be a bug. I don't see an existing one in
Launchpad, so I think we'll need to file on.

Hi Kathy,
Thank you for your quick response. Yes, I want to see the count for
the preferred library or basically the library that I am logged in as.
It’s the line:
/1 of 1 copy available at Pepperell Lawrence Library./
I’ll try to explain it better.
I am logged into the client as Pepperell (Pepperell Lawrence Library).
My Search Preferences are set for Default Search Library C/W MARS and
Preferred Library Pepperell.
The Search All CWMARS screenshot attached shows Invisible which is
owned by Pepperell and has a status of Available. The search was done
for all C/W MARS.
The copy count shows this item in the count of /1 of 1 copy available
at Pepperell Lawrence Library./
//
The second screenshot, Betrayed (2007), is a search of all C/W MARS
and a copy count does not display for Pepperell. Pepperell owns a
copy and it has a status of Damaged which is not set to be OPAC visible.
The third screenshot, Betrayed, is a search scoped to Pepperell and
the copy count shows the damaged item in the Pepperell copy count.
I would like the damaged item to also show in the copy count when
searching all C/W MARS. It seems to be the Copy Status setting of not
OPAC Visible that is preventing the display of the damaged item in the
copy count. Items with other statuses that are not status Available
but are OPAC Visible such as our status Walk In Loan do display in the
Pepperell (library) copy count when searched as all C/W MARS.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Joan,
My understanding is that the OPAC invisible copies should be included
in the copy counts in the client. I just did a brief test and found
that Lost copies were part of the copy count in the client, even
though it wasn't in the public catalog.
However, from reading your question, it sounds like it's really
related to showing counts for an OU that is a child of the search OU.
In your example, then, if the user is searching Pepperell, they would
see the count for the Pepperell Lawrence Library, whether that count
happens to include OPAC visible items or not.
The quick answer is that you currently can't do that, but I could see
this being a Wishlist bug in Launchpad. I think it would need to
consider the user's preferred library. If there are many children for
your search org unit, the catalog would need to know which branch's
copy count to display. I could see something that shows the copy count
for the user's preferred library if it is a child of the search org
unit. Also adding a note that those copies should already be
displaying at the top of the list of holdings.

Hello,
We have some of our copy statuses such as Lost set to not be
visible is the public OPAC.
The copies are visible in the client. However on the title search
results screen the copies are not included in the copy count
display for the library if the search is done at the
system/consortia level, for example the /0 of 1 count available at
the Library/.
If searched at the library level the /0 of 1 count available
/displays as shown below.
Is it possible to have the copy count display for the library when
searched at the system level for copies with statuses that are set
invisible? For staff this is helpful.
Thanks.
