5/2/201529 Things we learned Locations Served entries must be Valid lists. Invalid lists: system looks at all locations EXCEPT those listed.
31
5/2/201530 More… You can choose which hold pickup locations display in the catalog by editing tokens in WWWoptions.
32
5/2/201531 More… Inn-Reach holds ignore local hold parameters
33
5/2/201532 Some little bugs: Volumes act like copies Ineligible patrons get wrong message Maintaining the Hold Pickup table in Millennium is a known issue problem.

5/2/201533 Disclaimer Each library is different. Your experiences with Request Circles may not match ours.
