Prevent the reservation of items from other libraries if material exists on the user's campus
By default, Alma allows the user to request material from any of the libraries registered in the system.
For us this is not always desirable, because in certain cases the library where he can request the material is located hundreds of kilometers from where he is, and the transport of this material becomes difficult and time-consuming.
This is especially problematic when the material exists in the library/campus where that user is registered. The requested item would take longer to arrive from somewhere else than if he waited it to be returned to his campus.
To solve this, we would like you to include in the Alma configuration the possibility to prevent the reservation of items from other libraries if material exists on the user's campus.

Do you mean that there should not be an option to place a request even if there is an avialavle copy at another campus but there is a currently on loan copy belonging to the patron's campus?
