Introduction: How to place an item on Hold. Essentially there are 2 choices; Copy Hold or Title Hold.

• Copy Hold: Exact barcode entered
• Title Hold: Any title that is checked in will fulfill Hold request, 1st come, 1st served

Copy Hold or Title Hold both require a barcode. The Copy Hold will fulfill the barcode entered, the Title Hold will fulfill the title entered, whether the Title Hold is filled by the exact barcode entered or by a copy under the title requested.  

Note: Hierarchy of circulation maps in SIRSI are a bottom to top structure, where a copy is an exact item, where as a Title can be 1 or many.

Item Search helper will list all titles, any title barcode will fulfill a Title hold (1st come, 1st served) or an exact barcode of the copy the patron is requesting (example: a favorite bookmark was left in the book).

Select:

• Copy Hold: Exact barcode entered
• Title Hold: Any title that is checked in will fulfill Hold request, 1st come, 1st served

Fulfil Holds Request: When the exact copy is checked in or a the requested title is checked in an alert message box will display.

Remove Holds Request: Select Remove Holds wizard, enter patron ID, select items from List of Holds. To remove holds, click Remove Holds.
