Thank you, Bill. This is new information. Both settings sound helpful!

Thanks for your help, everyone. I threw a bug into launchpad [1] -- currently mainly consisting of Galen's research -- but please feel free to build on that bug.

Good morning - This is interesting. Patrons at my branch usually pick up holds before they expire but I know that isn't true everywhere. An email or text reminder would be helpful. Thank you.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] What does the "Holds Expire Alert Interval" library setting do?
Jane, My first thought on this org unit setting was that it defined an interval for a client alert when a patron has a hold that is soon to expire. Maybe similar to the *circ.patron_expires_soon_warning* ou setting, which sets an interval to show a warning at checkout when a patron account is soon to expire. But I can't see that the *circ.hold_expire_alert_interval* ou setting is actually used anywhere. Maybe someone with better eyes than mine can shed some light? -Michele -- Michele M.
