Placing Multiple Holds on a Single Account
On This Page
Users with appropriate permissions can place multiple title and metarecords holds simultaneously. This feature is recommended for Staff and Institutional account types, to be used for book clubs and library projects. To place multiple holds for a single patron, select the number of copies needed as part of the hold request.
Users with the appropriate permissions have the ability to place multiple title and metarecords holds at once. This field is not available when placing part, volume or copy holds. NC Cardinal recommends limiting this option to Staff and Institutional ccount types. It should be used for book clubs and other library-based projects.
Note: This feature does not change the way in which the system fills holds. The multiple holds will fill in the same way that they would if the user had placed multiple holds separately.
To place multiple holds on a single title for a single patron:
- Search for the title in the Staff catalog.
- Click the Place Hold button.
- Enter the barcode for the Staff or Institution account you are placing the holds for.
- Select the number of copies requested from the drop-down menu that appears in the left pane of the Place Holds interface.
- Click the green Place Hold button.
- The selected number of Hold Succeeded status indicators will appear.
