Organizational units that are marked not to be visible in the public catalog will not appear for patrons on the public catalog side. Organizationl units that are not staff catalog visible will not appear in the following locations:
102+
* The library selector on the staff catalog search form.
103+
* In search results in the staff catalog.
104+
* In item counts in the staff catalog search results and Record Staff View tabs.

All organizational units will continue to be visible in the Holdings View, other administration screens, and reports.

These visibility settings meet a few use cases:
109+
110+
* De-cluttering an organizational unit selector with single-branch libraries, for which searching at the system level is exactly the same as searching at the branch level. This can be achieved by marking the system as not visible, and the branch as visible.
111+
* Hiding organizational units that are no longer used.
112+
* Hiding organizational units that are used for resource sharing, but which do not need to be searched.
113+
* Evergreen installations that want the library selector in the staff catalog to match the one in the public catalog. This can be achieved by making sure that all orgs have matching OPAC visible and Staff Catalog visible settings.
