We have improved the display of item availability information. On the resource detail page, items are grouped by library and home location. Within each group, call numbers are sorted according to their type - serials in reverse chronological order; mutli-volume sets in ascending volume order; boxes/folders in ascending numerical order, and so on. Multiple copies of the same item are now shown individually.

If an item has a current location that's different from its home location, the current location is displayed on a second line after the call number, along with a due date, if one exists. If a hold/recall or other request is allowed for an item, a [request] link will be present. (For now, this link goes to the Socrates record; we're working hard on request forms and will include them in a later release.)

If there is a public note attached to an item (e.g. "Volume also contains..."), it is displayed on a line following the call number.

Special instructions or links can be added for a library and/or location. For example:

• SAL, SAL3, SAL Newark locations all have a "Page for delivery" link
• Special Collections, Hoover Archives have a "Request at service desk" instruction
• Lane and Jackson items have a link to the record in their respective catalogs

Status icons show more refined states - and a tooltip appears when the mouse hovers over an icon:

• available for checkout
• available for in-library use (non-circulating items)
• must be requested or paged (SALs, Special Collections, Hoover Archive, any -30 location)
  • if there's an online request form, a request link will be present
• currently checked out, or otherwise unavailable (in process, out for repair, etc.)
  • if holds/recalls are allowed for the item, a request link will be present
• current status unknown
  • this may be because the live status lookup hasn't completed, or has timed out
  • on the search results page, if there are multiple copies/volumes for a library/location with mixed circulation statuses, the overall status will appear as unknown
  • Items in Lane or Jackson have unknown status (as well as a link to the same item in their respective catalogs)

On the search results page, the goal is to display a summary line for each library/location that holds the item, with a summary status for the volumes/copies at that location (e.g. all available, all checked out, or a combination - so the user must go to the item detail view for more information). We've made some big improvements in collapsing multiple items into one library/location summary line, but the work is not yet complete and some items (for example, DVDs) list all the volumes/copies, with each line showing the summary status for the group.
