--- Comment #2 from Jeremy Evans <Jeremy.evans at nibsc.org> ---
I encountered this problem earlier.  We had received a couple of new books
required urgently by one of our users so they were sent straight to him.
Therefore I was not able to put a barcode into the books when
cataloguing/issuing them.
When I tried to issue them to the user the books did not appear on the list of
titles if I did a title search in the checkout.  
one other point - a filter on the holding library would be useful here as it
brings up a long list of items held by other branches without giving details of
the location.


I got round the issuing problem using the method Galen mentioned - i.e. using a
dummy barcode in the format of temp1234.

On the default item view screen there is a place hold button so maybe an
additional checkout link from there would be another useful way to handle these
items. Or a checkout link from the list of holds?

The barcode not being in the book/item record when it is returned would not be
a problem for us - as we would at that point edit the item to put in a barcode
number.
