[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] opposite of force/recall hold

[Holly Brennan]

A staff member needs to put a lot of DVDs on hold to assess the physical condition, but is in no rush. We don't want to prevent patrons from renewing items they have just because of our staff hold.

In other words, we're looking for something that's the opposite of the force/recall hold types. A "timid" hold....a pushover that's okay with being sent to the back of the line until absolutely no one else cares about the item. It would speak up only after the item is checked in and moves to Available status.

Anyone else feel this would be a useful addition? Or maybe there's a way to make this process work with the existing ILS functions? Thanks!
