Description Cab Vinton 2011-12-08 19:56:39 UTC
This preference currently results in an email to the librarian whenever a hold is placed, even if the hold is placed by staff.

I think it would be good to add a preference that excludes those holds, limiting emails to instances where holds are patron-initiated.

Additional clarification --

Looking for an email when a hold is placed by a patron after s/he logs in to their account.

Looking for an email only when the hold is placed on a book that is currently available, i.e., not checked out to a patron.

Idea is to give librarians almost real-time updates on items needing to be pulled from the shelves.

I understand this enhancement may be more involved than it sounds as larger libraries have multiple branches & use more than the 3 basic statuses which apply to us as a smaller library (checked in, checked out, on hold - waiting to be picked up).

Thanks.

Still valid?
