By author would be excellent. By series would be another popular one
here -- we occasionally get requests to do that.
I'm very interested in this, and additional improvements w/r/t
Patron-Driven Acquisitions -- right now all that is on paper for us and
it is indeed laborious and time-consuming, but understandably quite
popular with patrons.

We actually discussed that during the Loblolly event a few years ago
as something that would be nice for home bound / TBS support and I
think would be nice for many patrons. Somewhere the notes from that
discussion are still floating around. That was to satisfy some pretty
broad needs by qualifier and genre. Were you thinking more narrowly
by author?

Our patrons would like us to maintain standing hold requests, similar
to standing order plans we use with vendors, where they could be
placed on hold for every book published by certain authors. We
offered this service for years, but stopped because it was extremely
laborious.
I was wondering how other libraries approached such requests. If you
provide such a service, do you maintain a separate system (database,
spreadsheet, paper, etc.)? Has anyone developed a system that
utilizes Evergreen to help automate such a process?
Thanks in advance.
