If this option is enabled, the catalog will display It’s Here in the availability display for items that are available on-shelf at the location that the patron is viewing the catalog from, based on IP detection or a branch specific URL.

If this option is disabled and a patron is viewing the catalog from a known IP address or branch specific URL, available on-shelf items will display as On Shelf.

note

The waitlist value may not always be accurate to the actual scenario in which a patron’s hold might be fulfilled – this is especially true for MLN1 libraries, where local item availability may impact how quickly a local patron’s hold is fulfilled.
