 Designated by a V, call number/volume level holds are used when any item attached to a specific library’s call number or volume is needed. Call number/volume level holds should be rare since there are few occasions where a title or part level hold would not be a better option. Call number/volume level holds may also negatively impact hold fulfillment since the targetter will not look beyond that specific call number. Volume level holds can only be placed by library staff within the staff catalog.

 Designated by an M, metaholds are used when a patron will accept the first available copy of any format of a title, or any language available for a title. Placing a metahold groups titles together for hold availability using a machine-based algorithm that identifies like titles. Holds are not placed on all records in the group; but, will be fulfilled with the first available copy on one of the grouped records. At hold placement, patrons or staff can choose format and/or language under advanced options. Metaholds can be for all formats for the grouped records, only book formats (regular or large print) or editions, only sound recording formats, or only visual material formats. Metaholds can be placed by patron or library staff from either the staff catalog or patron OPAC.
