Flag for course reserve loan transactions
As a possible improvement for the Fulfillment subject area, please consider adding an indicator, much like the In House Loan indicator, to loans made while an item is on course reserve. This would allow us to easily include or exclude loans made for items on reserve in our circulation reports. Currently we exclude by location, but we suspect that this is not a reliable method, in part because the inactive temporary location is still attached to many items.
A course reserve flag on a loan would also allow us to easily pull circulation counts when reporting on course reserve.

Hello,
In the Fulfillment Subject Area, under the "Loan Details" folder, there are two fields -
- Associated Course Code - The code of a course that was active during the time the item was loaned. The item belonged to a citation that was part of the reading list of the course.
- Associated Course Name - The name of a course that was active during the time the item was loaned. The item belonged to a citation that was part of the reading list of the course.
These fields can be used to indicate whether an item was in course reserve at the time of the loan.
Best regards,
