SPLASH holds

SPLASH

To place a hold on an item in Leap:

1. Go to Find Tool
2. Search item by Bibliographic Record -> Basic Search -> All Keywords Fields -> Keyword (All) or whatever settings are appropriate for your search.
3. Checkmark the box to the left of the correct item and click Open
4. Pull down the Actions menu and select Place Hold
5. If you are scanning the patron's card, make sure the third field is Barcode. If you are typing in the patron's name, the third field should be (Name, Last Field Middle)
6. Click Open
7. If you need to change the pickup branch, click on the hold, a screen will open with the hold information, and there is a pull-down menu of SPLASH branches under Pickup

To suspend a hold (place a vacation hold)

1. Checkmark the box to the left of the held item in the patron's record
2. Click Suspend/Reactivate
3. Select the correct date in the calendar
4. Click Update Activation Date

*Just because you suspend a hold for a certain date, does not mean it will available for the patron that day*

Holds can also be suspended at the same time that you place the hold!
