The reason is that people don't go searching for the book when it's not there and also people don't upload the book when they shouldn't.

@BrittanyBunk can you provide a screenshot? I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to.

https://openlibrary.org/books/OL7444969M/Quantum_Computation_in_Solid_State_Systems. If you click on the Internet Archive ID, it's restricted.

For this case, instead of it saying 'no ebook available', it should say 'ebook restricted', so that people don't click on the IA ID or try to upload it themselves.

I see now, I'm assuming there's an API we call that can display something to a user

Maybe I'm not fully understanding the request, but isn't this already an indicator of print-disabled only?

@seabelis not sure what you're asking. I'll do, not a screenshot, but a visual of what I am asking to be shown. I'm not sure of the right wording to use, so I just made up my own:

Related to #1235 and #2346.

That's essentially what the lock icon is saying, but the text is not very clear about that. I think the button itself in independent of the DAISY-only books, but there are others more qualified to answer that.

In the interests of transparency, patrons should know why a book is not available. These could be "no scan known", "we don't have a scan", "access is withheld by the rights holder", "all our copies are on loan", "Daisy etext is only available to print-disabled Americans", etc.

However, a much better answer might be to offer a different edition of the same work that is available: "That edition is on loan. Would you like to read this edition?

@LeadSongDog I agree that the site should be more clear about its intentions on what it includes and doesn't and why - as many libraries do that.

For the offering of similar, it would be beneficial to add that as a new issue on github if it's not there already. Personally, I don't like too many buttons, so if they want to read a different edition, they can go back to the list.
