Hi everyone, We've only been using production mode since late April and today we "discovered" a strange phenomenon. Titles that we only have 1 copy/item of that have the status of being a trapped hold (waiting), show as "no holds allowed" when you search for them in a general way that produces a list of records (as opposed to searching for it by barcode). So, if the item "Uncoupling" by Meg Wolitzer (which we only own one copy of) is trapped & waiting to be picked up, if we do a search in either the staff client or the OPAC for "Wolitzer" -- a list of her books comes up and each one has the link below it to place a hold except for the one that is trapped (Uncoupling) and that one says "no holds allowed". You can place a hold on it in other ways (through checking the box and then clicking place hold, or in staff client by bringing up the item and placing a hold directly). So, we can get around it, but it is unlikely that most of our patrons using the OPAC will go any farther than seeing "no holds allowed."
Has anyone else dealt with this?
