The result list groups the items by their status, so the number should add up to the total number of items on th record. I think if we added the 'holds' there, it might result in people thinking there are more items than there really are. Maybe the trick would be to use a better term for the result list? Perhaps using "Waiting on hold shelf"?
Respectfully, I get that. The number of holds waiting and in transit are just part of the stats. However, I don't think they are stats that most patrons would care about in general. I think we're providing the patrons with a lot of information they don't necessarily need. Personally I would prefer a total count, number of holds, and MAYBE the location of available items. Everything else is meaningless to me as a patron. I know we all look at this from different perspectives, so I get that what I think isn't necessarily the norm or the majority. But on behalf of all the patrons that have to wade through a sea of information to find what they are looking for, I think we are handing out some bits of information that we could do without, and I think we could be a little more on point. Perhaps we could have Total Copies, Total Copies Available, and Total Holds? Maybe a sub category showing Copies Available at: and then a list of libraries with an option to have call numbers showing or not? I'm not sure that call numbers are absolutely necessary on the discovery layer, although I guess it might help in determining type of material and target audience. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
