Please contact us via the website contact form and we'll look into it - http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/main/emailform.php?m=142.<br /><br />Regards, Maryanne<br /><br />Please Webgurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12687836518495377519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016024.post-41373674930805938602014-02-09T22:57:04.911+11:002014-02-09T22:57:04.911+11:00Hi, I just tried to place a hold on a book from a ...Hi, I just tried to place a hold on a book from a (non-ERL) library, and it's telling me that the "hold [is] not allowed". I've never had a problem with this before, and I only have 18 items on hold. Did something glitch out, or did inter-library loans get cancelled?Jessica L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12539855505708623655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016024.post-68600046529876578612014-01-23T17:26:36.225+11:002014-01-23T17:26:36.225+11:00If you currently have more than 20 holds on your c...If you currently have more than 20 holds on your card you will gradually have your holds fulfilled as the items come in. However, you will not be able to place any more holds on until the total number of holds is reduced to under 20.<br /><br />I hope this clarifies things.

There is no way to make popular titles with long waiting lists exempt from the 20 hold limit.<br /><br />Suspended holds also count towards the 20 holds.<br /><br />I would suggest allocating a certain number of holds for popular titles that you might be on a long waiting list for and then using the rest for regular holds that come in quickly.<br /><br />Once you borrow holds awaiting pickup you may then place more holds.<br /><br />Regards, MaryanneWebgurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12687836518495377519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016024.post-76552113313964081262014-01-23T14:10:15.052+11:002014-01-23T14:10:15.052+11:00What happens when you have items on reserve in whi...What happens when you have items on reserve in which you are on a long waiting list for? Like new releases in which you rank 20+ which can take weeks for its availability. Could those be exempt of the 20?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
