[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds for ILLs on Template bib records

[Hardy, Elaine]

Marlene, 

I have been away from the office off and on for the last few weeks and am trying to catch up on lists. If you don't mind my asking -- why do you want to put a hold on the temp record for an ILL? Have you tried a copy level hold?

Hi Tara, 

We are trying to place Title holds, and they are for the same org unit owning the item (we do have branches). We were aware that the "targeter" was on a 15 minute delay, but the delay in finding the item is much more than that, sometimes a day or two days. My current test is a title hold placed 2009-08-17T13:16:30-0400, which didn't show up on the pull holds list until this morning 8-19-09. It currently has a "previous check time" of 
2009-08-19T14:15:14-0400. I'm not sure what that means (if that's really when the targeter checked for it last)....but I don't know how to determine when the targeter FIRST found the item for the hold. Is there a field for that that's visible by the client? 

Holds on template records just aren't responding as a normal bib record would for holds. 

Thanks for your response!

I remember that for holds that are not opportunistic holds (i.e. holds 
captured on checkin) that it sometimes it takes the hold targeter 15 minutes 
to match up the hold with the item that can fill the hold. Have you checked 
a few times and the holds are still not targeting? 

I doubt that this is relevant, but I'm curious as to what type of hold are 
you placing on the brief records? Is it the same type of hold that you 
generally use for holds? 

Cheers, 
Tara
