[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds Aging

[Knapp, Wendy]

Hi Joan,

In our consortium of 72 libraries (live), libraries can place 6-month age protection on their new items.  Some choose to use it just for the popular materials, but not things like nonfiction.  That's up to library.  Both library staff and patrons are happy with this arrangement, since the materials stay with the home library's patrons for that timeframe.

Let me know if you have more questions on this.

Hello,

We are a large consortium and considering using the Holds Aging for our holds.   If you use Holds Aging , can you tell me about your experience?  Do you use it for all new material or just specific formats?  Are staff and patrons happy with the process?  Do you use the 3 month setting for filling holds within your library first?

Thanks.

Joan
