Hold forsPeople get busy. Sometimes they get lazy. Someone could completely drop off the planet and the hold for would stay in the collection indefinitely. If one can only check out a book for two weeks to proofread, then it makes sense to me to place some parameters on how long a person can request a hold for on a book before actually doing anything with it. Again I agree with others who feel that the time limit might need to be reexamined, but I am glad some parameters will be there. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Lumpkin To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 7:50 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Hold fors Again I say that hold fors should be the business of the scanner and the proofer.
