Weekly Update – June 12, 2012
Deleting holds
In accordance with the Evergreen Indiana Circulation Policy which states that unfilled holds will be deleted every 9 months, 400 title, volume and copy holds were deleted from the system as of June 6, 2012. The following hold note was attached to each hold in order to inform staff and patrons of the cancellation: This hold was cancelled due to the target record being deleted from the system. Please contact your local library if you wish to replace the hold.
There are many reports which help libraries identify unfilled holds as well in EI Templates (EG-IN) folder > Holds (EG-IN). Libraries should consider running these reports regularly as a tool to ensure that patron holds are being filled in an appropriate amount of time.
