Do you need to place a hold on a specific copy? You can do that through Circulation.
Normally we recommend using the normal Hold mode, which will make the first available copy—or any copy that’s already available—the in-stock hold.
However, in a school library situation, one of your copies may have a piece of the kit or equipment missing, or may lack that extra booklet or disc. In order to place a hold on the copy that is complete, you can use the copy-specific hold command.
To place one copy-specific hold:
- In the Command Line, type or scan the barcode of the patron placing the hold.
- Type HC [space] and scan or type the barcode of the copy to place on hold.
To place more than one copy-specific hold for this patron:
- In the Command Line, type HC and press [enter].
- See that now you are in Hold Copy mode.
- Scan the barcodes of each copy to place on hold.
- Type a period (.) [enter] to exit the Hold Copy mode.
When placing a normal hold, no matter the barcode of the copy scanned, the hold is placed on the title so that the first available copy becomes the In-Stock Hold.
Placing holds in the Hold Copy mode means the patron will wait for these specific copies to be available as in-stock holds.
