You can also be more selective (for example, preventing items from Library A from fulfilling holds for patrons from Library B, but allowing patrons from Library C) with specific hold permissibility rules, as well considering the type of items, etc. > Preventing the "Place Hold" button from even appearing in the OPAC when > they are viewing records that have no holdings for their "own" library > (however you define that), or preventing patrons from selecting a > different pickup library other than the library that holds an item, is a > different matter. Yeah, the whole Place Hold -> fill out form -> No Eligible Items Found flow is non-optimal and thorny. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Please come by and visit the Equinox team and learn more about Evergreen ALA MidWinter January 15-18, 2010 booth # 2064
