Placing multiple holds on one card
To place multiple holds on one card, the holds need to be placed in
the Millennium Circulation client, rather than in InfoSoup. You can start from the Circ Desk
mode or from Search/Holds.
Once you've placed the holds, you may want to speed up the process by asking libraries to check in their copies. To do this, send an email to the owlsnetlibs list. In the body of the message, include the title of the book, any other pertinent info (for instance, whether it's a children's or adult title) and the names or codes of the libraries that have copies on the shelf.
- Starting from Circ Desk, enter the patron's barcode. (If you're doing this for a book club, you'll need to use an internal library card for this.)
- Choose the Holds tab, then click Add Holds.
- Search for the title you want, then click
Hold Copy Returned Soonest.
- In the box that pops up, the first field indicates the number of holds, and by default is set to 1. Change this to the number of holds you'll need, then fill out the rest of the boxes. (Make sure you don't limit it to your library; the limit to location box should always remain blank.
- The process works the same way starting from Search/Holds, only
you find the patron after you've selected the title.
