Comment 11 for bug 1277194

I agree it's still a problem. However, in current Evergreen if you have the Skip for Hold Targeting library setting enabled for the branch then it should prevent holds from being placed with a "circ.holds.target_skip_me" message.

As a workaround until there is a better solution, we have changed the names and codes of our branches to indicate to staff that they are closed. For example, ARL-BKM becomes ZZZ-ARL-BKM and "Athens Bookmobile" to "ZZZ-Athens Bookmobile." (This has the added benefit of pushing those to the bottom of the selection lists, too.)
