Using the Holds Picklist
When you open the Picklist, the Pending requests are listed for the branch you selected when logging into Leap. You can choose a different branch from the drop-down list box at the top of the Picklist. To view holds with other statuses, select another tab. The totals are displayed for each view for the selected branch, and these totals are updated as the hold requests change statuses.
Note:
If a hold request is for a serial, the call number includes the volume and copy, and the title includes the serial title and designation.
