[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Item "Recall" function?

[Hardy, Elaine]

I have not tried this, but it is my understanding that a workaround is to 
place a copy level hold on the specific  item you want returned to the 
owning library. That should act as if it were a recall and bring the item 
back to the owning/circulating library that places the hold.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Item "Recall" function?



I am trying to figure out a way to get an item that is in circulation and 
has a holds queue back to its owning library posthaste, without unduly 
disrupting the holds queue.

I'm thinking this is similar to a "recall" function, usually associated with 
academic libraries wanting things back for loans to profs, reserves, or 
whatever. I'm also thinking EG has this basic sort of functionality? If so, 
I really want to know if it exists in v.1.6, its general behaviors, 
where/how it is configured, etc.

I can't find any documentation beyond some list mentions, and the extremely 
cryptic p.211 of the 1.6 Draft documentation.

Of course, if there are other methods, I;d love to know those, too!

Help? and thanks!
