@carolyncole the reserves listing has been removed from orangelight and at one point it looked like the alma reserve feature may not be used so we just hard-coded that to 'N' for everything. I'll check on this.
@carolyncole I assume you're asking because it's used in Requests?
Yes, it is used in requests. We use it to check and see if a person can request a copy. If it is on reserve is should not be able to be requested for pickup.
We expect some use of alma reserves in the fall; I updated the description.
This is a lower priority right now because there won't be any reserves yet at go-live.

I did a search in alma for
where (In temporary location equals "Yes")
and found this item that is in a reserve location - https://catalog-alma-qa.princeton.edu/catalog/99106282523506421I then looked that item up in bibdata: https://bibdata-alma-staging.princeton.edu/bibliographic/99106282523506421/holdings/22158920250006421/availability.json
You can see the on_reserve in the metadata is
N
, notY
There are a few use cases here:
Additional investigation is needed for both:
The alma locations API returns this information in the “fulfillment_unit” key. Value would be “reserves”. Mark will follow up to ensure the list of reserves locations is correct.
