This strikes me as good policy. It makes people prioritize their holds and therefore keeps overall holds in check; it can also help them manage purchases by identifying highest demand books. So essentially people get a few most-wanted books early, but have to enter the scrum for the rest. The longer the hold list, the flatter the projected demand and the less useful as a purchasing tool.

I’ve got nine months to run in Brooklyn but shall be visiting OK eventually and I’ve already identified a few pricey books they own that Brooklyn doesn’t and hasn’t bought on my recommendation, :sniff: . I just hope they don’t come to the same conclusion as Brooklyn and FLP in the meantime…..
