<div dir="ltr">Hello Mark, just to add to the answers so far. There is a feature called hold stalling that was intended to address this... but it has downsides in its pre 3.8 release state. Hold stalling turns off opportunistic capture for a certain period after a hold is placed, to try and make sure that the targeted copy has a chance to be filled first.<div><br></div><div>3.8 included an enhancement that looks like it will address several of the big issues with hold stalling.</div><div><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1895052">https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1895052</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>From 3_8 release notes</div><div><ul style="margin-top:0px;list-style-position:outside;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:medium"><li style="color:rgb(170,170,170)"><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0.5em;color:black">Add a new pair of library settings to support pickup library-based hold stalling. <em style="color:navy">Pickup Library Soft stalling interval</em>, when set for, the pickup library, specifies that for holds with a request time age smaller than the specified interval only items scanned at the pickup library can be opportunistically captured.
