1.2. Definitions

Definitions

Targeting: Identification of specific potential copies to fulfill holds
Capture: Physically scanning the barcode of an item and triggering a specific hold for a patron. Until the point of capture, the holds pull list is theoretical.
Opportunistic: Serendipitous hold capture – if any item anywhere is scanned in, it may be captured for a hold placed anywhere. ***
FIFO: Forces opportunistic capture to adhere to the exact hold placement order (as much as possible)
Weighting: Artificially influences the probability of items at specific libraries being targeted for holds
Stalling: How long to wait before allowing items not at the pickup library to be opportunistically captured to fill a hold
Boundaries: Soft boundaries are where you start looking for a place to stop. Hard boundaries are where you stop. (period)
- Configurable by introducing soft stalling interval – see Stalling
