Thanks to all who responded on this topic It's probably not surprising
to find that there seem to be almost as many ways of dealing with this
issue as there are libraries offering self-service holds. The main
variables are:
Customer name or customer ID? - more than half of the 15 responses use
the customer's name
On show or wrapped? - again about half and half, 3 respondents use
blank wrappers (or other container) that can be recycled, 3 choose to
place the books on the shelves back-to-front or spine down to conceal
the title
2 libraries see no reason to hide either the title or the ID
