Overview
Item resolution is the last in a series of steps to determine which item OpenRS will select for placing a request. Currently, items that are checked out or have item holds cannot be requested via OpenRS. The purpose of DCB-1530 and DCB-1549 is to augment the existing item resolution capabilities such that checked outs and items with holds can be considered for selection. The business goal of these capabilities is to increase the volume of OpenRS borrowing and to increase the speed of item delivery to patrons. These two issues are contractual obligations to MOBIUS but are likely to be used by GALILEO and other new OpenRS consortium.
