Find Out Location of "Hold Shelf" Item

Here's two ways to find out the location of an item with a status of "hold shelf". Neither is very convenient, but they work.

Method 1
  • F2 - Search for the item by title or barcode.
  • Click Show Copies
  • Click on the copy with the "hold shelf" status
  • Send it to Copy/Item List (F10)
  • Click Edit to open the item record, go down to where it says "Out to Borrower No."
  • Look up the borrower# in circ and find out where the item is being held from their Blocks screen.

Method 2 (more cumbersome if there's a lot of copies with Hold Shelf status)

  • F2 - Search for the item by title or barcode.
  • Go to Request - View Title Request List
  • Click on an item with "hold shelf" status
  • Click Borrower Requests
  • Look to see if that item matches the specific item barcode you're looking for.
  • If not, go to another "hold shelf" item in the list and check that one's Borrower Requests.
