Item Policy Suppressed (88) Clean-up 

Body:

Hello, 

I’m writing with an update from the Alma Fulfillment Working Group (FWG) as the group’s communication lead. 

Starting in November, FWG will sunset item policy “Suppressed (88)” from Alma. This item policy was necessary for suppressing items in Aleph, but no longer achieves that purpose in Alma (individual items cannot be suppressed, only Holdings or Bibs can).  

To facilitate this work, any item with a Suppressed (88) item policy will be assigned a new item policy according to the table on the project wiki page.  

We expect impacts of this work to be minimal on both patrons and staff as items with this policy were not requestable or lendable.  

Please contact the FWG co-chairs Kara Young (kara_young@harvard.edu) and April Duclos (april_duclos@harvard.edu) if you have any questions. 

Best, 

Julie
