Along the same lines as hiding lost items from being listed in the OPAC.  I'd
love to see the ability to hide and entire collection code or shelving location
from the patrons.

The logic behind this is that some schools use the catalog to keep track of
textbooks, but do not circulate them and do not want them to show in the
results that patrons see.  They're using the catalog as an inventory tool for
those items.  Another example would be books that are on librarian's desks. The
library wants to keep track of them but does not want the patrons to know that
those books are in the library since they are for librarian use only.

Another way to do this would be to add another not for loan category that can
be hidden from view in the OPAC...

Hope that all makes sense.
