Holds for Book Clubs
When copies of a book are needed for a reading club the simplest solution is to place a hold for each member of the club.
To have all of the copies available at the same time, this option may be used:
Local Holds
The library field in the patron's record determines which libraries copies of local holds he/she will get.
Example: A user in Westfield places a hold and gets a local-hold copy from Oshkosh. That will happen if the library field in the user's record is Oshkosh. That user will never get a Westfield copy of a local hold.
Copy-Level Holds
Staff must place a copy-level hold for anything that is packaged is parts, issued in a series, or for specific magazine issues. Any other hold should be placed as a title hold. Often, the user gets poorer service with a copy hold because there might be problems with locating a specific copy and other copies might be available.
Missing Contents
Procedure—Handling Missing-Content Items
The library where the missing-content item is returned is responsible for handling that item, regardless of the owner of the item.
Multiple email addresses
A user can have more than one email address in his/her record. Both addresses go in the email field.
Separate the two addresses with a comma, and no space.

If there is no existing record, enter a new one using the same process as a regular record, with these additional steps:
