How do I remove the ability to check out or put on hold for a specific book? There are some that I would like to classify as Reference Only and not allow them to be checked out.

You can add a custom lending status (a status that marks that item as unavailable) to any books you need, for "Reference Only" or any other custom status. Do this from the "Other" options on the Check in/out page (https://www.librarycat.org/admin/checkinout) when you're marking those records! Hope this helps.

I'm finding that this didn't work for me- the interface still allows the option for a patron to self-checkout any of our reference materials even though I've used the screen suggested to mark them all as "Reference- Non-circulating" and change their status to unavailable. What to do?

>3 library_graceharbor.: Can you give a couple examples for the developers to check on?

>3 library_graceharbor.: Looking at your "Non-Circulating" status on a Detail page, the status was showing up in green which indicates the status was saved to keep the item as available (or lending status unchanged). I checked that status on our end and indeed the status was keeping the item as available for loan. I've fixed that status to mark the item as unavailable for loan, so you should be all set now.
