Items with item policy "noncirculating" should not display as "loanable" in Primo VE
We have many titles that do not circulate, but because they are available on the shelf, Primo VE displays them as "loanable." This may confuse patrons into thinking that these items can be loaned, when they are not allowed to leave the library.

We're suppressing the display of loanable / not loanable (set to NOT_DEFINED), because it was way too confusing: the value can change depending on if you're logged in or not.

A way to prominently display additional information about the circulation status upfront is greatly needed. Our system is configured to display non-circulating items as Not Loanable -- but they still display as Available, which is confusing to users. Being able to display some combination of availability, such as Available - In Library Use Only, etc. would make a much better, less confusing experience for our researchers.
