What if you could have all the formats of a title in one record?  It would mean less searching through multiple results of the same title.  But to make it worth while, it would be great if you could place a hold based on format.

Right now, Koha lets you place a hold on first available or a specific item.  But what if you had the ability to include format on the first available?  Perhaps one could say the want the first available in audio only.  Or maybe first available in Large Type (Large Print).  Then the hold requests would factor the format when queuing people for items.

It is possible, see bug 15533
you just need to set on the system preference AllowHoldItemTypeSelection
