I don't have an answer; but we agree with you wholeheartedly. This and the fact that holds show up as "Available" in the OPAC unless checked out are two of the serious issues about holds that need to be addressed. Kathy At 05:38 PM 10/8/2008, Fooled One wrote:

The "Holds Awaiting Pickup" and "Holds to Pull" circulation reports do not show a list of items that are placed by patrons from home that are already available in the library. The "Holds Awaiting Pickup" report does seem to show a list of items if they have been on hold while the item was checked out to another patron and that patron just check it back in.

The lack of "Holds to Pull" reporting is an important issue because librarians need to know what items need to be pulled off the shelf when a patron places a hold - even if the item is already available.

I have my preferences set to:

AllowOnShelfHolds: ON

emailLibrarianWhenHoldsPlaced: ON (though this does not work either)

Any thoughts on how to fix this this? Is there a job that needs to be running? Am I just missing something? _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
