[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Standing Hold Requests for Patrons

[Chauncey Montgomery]

Our patrons would like us to maintain standing hold requests, similar to 
standing order plans we use with vendors, where they could be placed on 
hold for every book published by certain authors.  We offered this 
service for years, but stopped because it was extremely laborious.

I was wondering how other libraries approached such requests. If you 
provide such a service, do you maintain a separate system (database, 
spreadsheet, paper, etc.)?  Has anyone developed a system that utilizes 
Evergreen to help automate such a process?

Thanks in advance.
