Need to be able to book 'available' items by clicking a link constructed appropriately to take you to the right place in Millennium.

Need to talk to Chris and Diane about what fields to pick up on.

CA (update 30/10/12): The structure of a URL for a booking is as follows:

https://library.hull.ac.uk/webbook?/&back=/search

where the bib identifier is, e.g., b2247892

A booking can be made when the Location is 'BJL Short Loan' or 'KDL Short Loan'

Hence, Blacklight needs to review the location of items. If one or more items has the above location an icon should appear under 'View record' saying 'Book this item', with the created link behind it. This will take the user into the Millennium booking system.

Apologies, just realised the URL doesn't have the bib number in it. It should be:

https://library.hull.ac.uk/webbook?/{bib identifier}&back=/search

I have also been corrected insofar as only items with Location 'BJL Short Loan' can be booked
