Hi Cab, Look in the Issuing rules under Administration. At the very bottom of that page is a grid to set hold policy's by Item type - at least on 3.0100014...

Is there a way to do disallow holds for certain classes of materials, or at the individual item/ record level? I've poked around the settings for Item Types & the item-level subfields, but haven't found anything yet.
The ability to do this would come in handy because we're thinking of adding records to our catalog for the downloadable audiobooks our patrons have access to through Overdrive.
Other libraries have found that instead of going to the Overdrive site to place holds/ get access to the audiobooks, patrons invariably attempt to place a hold through the catalog. Does not work, needless to say, & just creates more work for the library staff.
The same basic idea would also apply to downloadable ebooks, streaming music via Naxos, etc.
Thoughts?
