One of our library system does central cataloguing at its headquarter, which is 
not open to the public. It's OPAC invisible, but needed on the staff catalogue.

Angular staff catalog

About disused Org Units - even after a branch closes completely and all of the 
active materials and patrons have been moved off of it so we don't want it to 
appear in most dropdown lists, we sometimes still need to run reports on it. It 
would be nice to have the option in the reporter to include non-staff-visible 
branches. Maybe that is as simple as adding a new report source in the 
fieldmapper that can be used instead of the normal Org Unit source when desired?

I can think of several:

- Library joining a consortium. Most any migration workflow I can imagine will 
result in a period of at least a few days, and sometimes longer, where an OU 
exists and has holdings attached to it but shouldn't be visible in the OPAC, 
but where staff nonetheless need to be able to do staff-side searches limited 
to that OU.
- Library opening a new branch with an opening day collection. This could lead 
to an even longer period where the OU exists but is not yet ready to be visible 
to patrons
- An explicitly hidden or resource collection

Does NOBLE have OUs that are completely disused?

Regards,

Galen
