Use of Reading Room Desks

Resource Sharing uses the For Reading-Room Use only checkbox when items are indicated by lender to be in-library use only. Thus Resource Sharing depends on certain pick-up desks being designated "Reading Room" desks even if they aren't actively being used as such according to Alma Reading Room functionality.
