[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holdings View in Web Client

[Kathy Lussier]

To be clear, nobody is talking about getting rid of Holdings 
Maintenance. It has a new name - holdings view - and there have been 
some changes in the display, some of which are improvements and other 
changes that are causing problems, some of which are significant. But I 
haven't heard anyone suggest getting rid of it.
