Tip for: 03.16.15

Do you need to place a hold on a specific copy? You can do that through Circulation.

Place a Copy-Specific Hold (1:22) (info)

Place a hold on a specific copy of a title. (Tip of the Week 031615)

Download  (16 MB) | Script (PDF)

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:

  1. In the Command Line, type or scan the barcode of the patron placing the hold.
  2. 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:

  1. In the Command Line, type HC and press [enter].
  2. See that now you are in Hold Copy mode.
  3. Scan the barcodes of each copy to place on hold.
  4. 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.
