DISCARD Items showing up

You maght have seen items in the catalog or in Workflows that have a status of DISCARD. Twice a year I remove all items that were Withdrawn in the past 6 months, by setting them to DISCARD and then running a report to delete everything marked DISCARD. It takes several days to get through them all, and until all the reports run, items will have the intermediate status of DISCARD.

Moving to 50 holds per patron and 2 Renewals

At ALL-WALS we talked about upping the number of patron holds to 50 and allowing 2 renewals of non-LH items.  I followed up with the SurveyMonkey questionaire, and for both questions the response was 25 "yes" and 1 "no."  So, starting July 1, 2016, patrons will be allowed to have up to 50 things on hold. Adding the 2nd renewal will be a bit more complicated, since that is set differently for every circulation rule. I should have all the various rules completed by July 1, 2016, but some will be done sooner than others.
