[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Need feedback for moving and updating "holds" documentation to EG 2.4 docs

[Hardy, Elaine]

The TPAC does support copy and volume level holds -- at least in the staff
client. In PINES, patrons can only place title level holds, so I don't
know whether they are supported.

In 2.3, and I hope in 2.4, holds can be placed in holdings maintenance and
in Item status. These are for staff internal purposes and don't act quite
the same way as other holds.

I originally sent this out right before the conference started, so I am
resending it to get some feedback by email.

Hello,

I am working on moving EG 1.6 documentation that is missing form EG
2.4 documentation. I noticed that there is no basic documentation on holds
in 2.4 and wanted to move some holds documentation from the EG
2.1 docs...

http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.1/html/Holds.html
[EG 2.1] Chapter 4. Circulation: holds

* Placing Holds
* Managing Holds
* Pulling & Capturing Holds
* Holds Notification Methods
* Clearing Shelf-Expired Holds


This might be easier said than done since this section covers features
that are no found in TPAC, but were found in JSPAC. For example, this
ssection mentions meta-records, which I know I should skip for TPAC (at
this point), and it also metions copy level, volume level holds.  
My uneducated understanding is that TPAC might only support title holds? I
think there are more options when using the EG client to place holds, but
I need confirmation.

I appreciate any basic feedback that the community can give me to keep
chipping away at this project.

Thanks in advance,
Yamil
