I don't like this new hold. It doesn't work properly and I can prove it using a book that the library only has one copy of.
You have a notification that a book is ready. You don't have time to read it so you go and put it on hold. When you take it off hold, you are supposed to be next in line. I am the next in line and I get my notification and I also put it on hold. I'm supposed to be next in line when I take it off hold. But what if I take it off hold before you do. Then you take it off hold. You think you are supposed to be next in line, but you aren't because I am. So you have to wait for the book to be finished by whoever has it now and then you have to wait for me to be finished. So this hold (in some cases) doesn't work because you won't be going to the front of the line like you are supposed to be. And then there could be 5 people who placed a hold and are now in front of you because they released their holds before you did. This setup is BS. You may not go to the front of the line and you could go weeks/months waiting and then have to go back on hold.
