We do this all the time and don't have any problem (other than occasional human errors). Make sure that each site library's login is associated with the correct locations served - and excludes the pickup locations at other sites. When an item with a hold to be picked up at another site is checked in you should see the following: Put on holdshelf at <pickup location> for <patron name>. Pickup notice will be printed. Set status: T > IN TRANSIT to <pickkup location> or H > ON HOLDSHELF Make sure to select T. I don't want the system to offer the H option at this stage but unfortunately it does! When the item reaches its pickup location it should be checked in and you should see: Item status is IN TRANSIT and has been cleared. Press <SPACE> to continue Put on holdshelf at <pickup location> for <patron name>. Pickup notice will be printed. Have you always had this problem or did it start recently? I ask because at various times during the last year (latter part of R12 and possibly also since R2K) we had sporadic problems relating to holds/in transit status. As far as I know it is working ok at present (in Update D+). On Mon, 9 Apr 2001, K.A.McCann wrote: > The University of Hull has 3 site libraries, one being in Scarborough > approx 40 miles away.
