What we need is a note field for “Other” where we can explain what the
real reason for No is…

Yes, "On reserve" works well--it indicates a book won't be available
for the rest of the semester, but maybe available in the future.  But
the problem with our Education books that aren't on reserve is that they
may be available for ILL in the future, so I'm reluctant to say
"non-circulating," which to me means "We won't lend these EVER."  

We probably need about 538 Reasons for No, including "We'll be happy to
lend this if we ever get it back from the faculty member who's had it
for five years and has been ignoring our overdue notices."

We have a similar situation with the Praxis Series Study Guides and we
have opted to place them on RESERVE so that our patrons can check them
out, but they are not available for ILL.  When you would check our
catalog for one of these titles you would see that their home location
is RESERVES.

I would call that non circulating because for the purposes of libraries
contacting you the book is a non-circulating book (ie. It doesn't
circulate to other libraries).  A better response would be Not ILL
Eligible.  But since that is not an option, non-circulating is probably
the closest thing.  Besides in the end it is the same result for the
library trying to borrow. The book isn't allowed to be lent to them so
unless an exception is made they cannot borrow it just like any book
that would fall under the "no non-circulating" option.  The real
difference there is the borrowing library probably had no way of knowing
it from looking at your catalogue. We have that same issue with some
books that are not eligible for ILL. Our own patrons can borrow it so
the book is in our main shelves with a different status setting that
allows NAIT patrons to borrow it but not non-NAIT patrons. Unfortunately
the catalogue doesn't display this status so the book shows up as an
available circul
 ating book in our online catalogue which means there's no way for
people to know by looking at the book's catalogue record that it has
different "permissions" than most of our books.

I have a question on "Reasons for No."  I used to be slightly
irritated
at the vague "Policy problem," but now I'm wishing it were still an
option, since I'm using the even vaguer "Other."

The situation:  my college now has an intensive graduate program in
Education, in which students need materials quickly.  (There were
problems last summer because it was taking me an average of 3.7 days
to
get articles for students; apparently that was too slow.)   As a
result,
when we get ILL requests from other libraries for Education books, I
have to get approval as to whether or not we can lend them. 
Ordinarily,
my policy is, if a student wants a book we've sent out on ILL, I order
another copy from another library; but for this program, students
can't
wait that long.

When I'm asked not to lend these books, what kind of "No" is that?
They're not "in use/on loan"; they're not "non circulating" (our
students can check them out); none of the 16 "reasons for No" seems to
apply.  Is "Other" appropriate?
