I have not tried this, but it is my understanding that a workaround is to place a copy level hold on the specific item you want returned to the owning library. That should act as if it were a recall and bring the item back to the owning/circulating library that places the hold.

I am trying to figure out a way to get an item that is in circulation and has a holds queue back to its owning library posthaste, without unduly disrupting the holds queue. I'm thinking this is similar to a "recall" function, usually associated with academic libraries wanting things back for loans to profs, reserves, or whatever. I'm also thinking EG has this basic sort of functionality? If so, I really want to know if it exists in v.1.6, its general behaviors, where/how it is configured, etc. I can't find any documentation beyond some list mentions, and the extremely cryptic p.211 of the 1.6 Draft documentation. Of course, if there are other methods, I;d love to know those, too! Help? and thanks!
