Only problem is that (at least in NC Cardinal) ... the DVD's have to have "copy holds" to make sure that you get the correct DVD in the series (volume) and copy holds cannot be placed from home. Laurie Love Wilkes (Hi Maria!)

At that point, I think you'll have to cancel the hold that has already been captured and place a new one for her. If she's someone who regularly places tv series on hold, Lynn's suggestion of teaching her how to suspend and activate her own holds makes a lot of sense. She can place however many parts on hold as she likes and suspend all but the first one. Then as she watches that one, she can activate the next.

You can make the Hold Notes print when you print the Hold Receipt. This is how we usually handle multiple disc/ volumes/series, when they come in wanting the entire series. A word of warning, in that the hold does count toward the total number of holds a patron can have.

If her hold is already in the queue, as soon as it's reactivated, she'll back in position and won't have to start at the bottom.

She had a hold to come but she doesn't need it right now but wanted to move down from position 12 to 20 so that she would have time to get the first disc in the series before seeing the second disc. I could move her up to position 1 or cancel the hold and move her to the bottom of the list. Is there something that I am completely missing? This doesn't normally come up so I really would like to know.
