Items loaned to Resource Sharing do not show as included in local scopes
Primo indexes one location for each item - the current location. In the case of resource sharing, the current location for the item is the temporary location. Therefore, when you search from a local scope, items in the resource sharing location are not found.
We would like to have the scope reflect the permanent location not the temporary location.
We have a scope for our Teaching Materials Collection which is specifically geared to our Education major students. They are taught to use this scope in their instruction. Not finding materials in this scope that are on loan via R/S (as opposed to showing them as unavailable/checked out) is misleading.
Support has deemed this an enhancement request.

Some librarians reorder titles because they cannot tell an item is ours due to the change to the temporary locations. It is confusing in both alma and Primo for ownership status.

I would prefer those items to show as being on loan, without any change to the item location. Never really understood why the change to the item location?
