Adding some perspective from an Acquisitions Librarian I've spoken to. Beyond just making things easier for frontline staff to locate on behalf of patrons, staff who are weeding or who send in replacement requests often miscount the number of active copies.
Attached is a screenshot of an example title that you'd think is already easy to read, but filtering would make it clearer that we have 3 copies not 6 in circulation.

This is absolutely essential! We'd love the ability to limit searches in Sierra to items that are currently available at a location & ready for checkout with an Available NOW style facet.
Not just owned by a location & possibly checked out, missing, in repair, etc., but on the shelf & just waiting for its next circulation.
The availability of such a feature would help frontline staff tasked with finding items for patrons go to the shelf with a better idea of what's actually going to be there for them to find, saving no small amount of time & effort.

This was functionality we had in a previous ILS, long before the fine free craze had captured the attention of so many. I would imagine, if introduced, it would be as optional/configurable as any other block.
When a library has a clearly communicated policy for items claimed returned & staff are trained to & actually do follow through with shelf checks, it can be as effective as any other block. At CHPL, in addition to immediate shelf checks when a customer claims an item returned, we run regular reports for staff to act on, that help minimize the number of items that have actually been returned. We also reset the counter annually for those with no active claims on their account.

We're in the same boat in Cincinnati, & we draw in INN-Reach items from two different sources (SearchOhio & OhioLink). Staff at our tech services/distribution center location rely exclusively on the mobile app to check out requested items they have sent there (it's a staff only pickup location for the roughly 50 staff who work there), but they have to choose a different pickup location for INN-Reach requests, because the app cannot be used to borrow those.

Yeah, we're totally missing out on hearing what George Takei thinks of Sierra!
It would be very nice to be able to include this sort of information as a means of communicating the value of the resources we're providing.

As a library that floats most of our collection, we too often see this problem & without this nuance, these items are very difficult to look for in the reports we produce. We'd love to see this addressed.
