Filling a Hold Request Locally

Circulation keeps track of local requests for items. When the item is checked in, Horizon prompts you to prepare the item for the borrower who wants it.

To fill a hold request locally

1 Check in the item in Checkin/Request Processing. (For instructions, see Checking In an Item Normally.)

Horizon displays a message telling you that the item is on hold, how the requestor will be notified, and for whom it is being held:

2 Mark the boxes of the items you want to print.

You can print a mailing label or a hold slip or both. If you print a hold slip, you can put the hold slip with the book and put the book on the library’s hold shelf. (For information on displaying the Hold Shelf report, see Accessing, Saving, and Printing a Report.)

3 Click OK.

Horizon prints the notices you chose and changes the item status to Being Held.

4 Follow your library’s procedures for mailing a notice or otherwise notifying the borrower, and for holding the item for the borrower.
