Hello Mark, just to add to the answers so far. There is a feature called hold stalling that was intended to address this... but it has downsides in its pre 3.8 release state. Hold stalling turns off opportunistic capture for a certain period after a hold is placed, to try and make sure that the targeted copy has a chance to be filled first.
3.8 included an enhancement that looks like it will address several of the big issues with hold stalling. https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1895052 >From 3_8 release notes - Add a new pair of library settings to support pickup library-based hold stalling. *Pickup Library Soft stalling interval*, when set for, the pickup library, specifies that for holds with a request time age smaller than the specified interval only items scanned at the pickup library can be opportunistically captured. Example "5 days". This setting takes precedence over "Soft stalling interval" (circ.hold_stalling.soft) when the interval is in force. *Pickup Library Hard stalling interval*, when set for the pickup library, specifies that no items with a calculated proximity greater than 0 from the pickup library can be directly targeted for this time period *if there are local available copies.* On Fri, Sep 16, 2022 at 10:47 AM Mark Massey via Evergreen-general < evergreen-general@list.evergreen-ils.org> wrote: > Our staff has noticed that some holds are filled from another library > before one of our locations.
