Transferring Hold Requests to Different Title Records
On This Page
Holds on one title can be transferred to another while preserving the hold request time, facilitating adjustments for incorrect formats or hopeless holds. To transfer holds from a title record, access the destination title's record, select "Title Hold Transfer" from the Mark for menu, then return to the original hold's record to perform the transfer. For transferring holds from a patron record, the process is similar: navigate to the destination title, select "Title Hold Transfer," and then choose the hold to transfer from the patron's Holds tab.
Holds on one title can be transferred to another with the hold request time preserved. This feature is useful when a hold has been placed on the incorrect format, or if a hold is in a hopeless state and needs to be re-targeted to a different title record.
