Could the difference be that the result list show the number of items 'waiting' - while the opac detail shows the number of holds?

It does, indeed, appear to be the case. :/ This is extremely confusing. If I am getting confused, I can't imagine patrons are doing any better with this. I'm not sure how much of the information on that line in the results is helpful to patrons. At least for US public library patrons, patrons would want to know how many copies there are, how many are available (and MAYBE where), and how many holds are on the item. I doubt they care about how many items are in transit, or how many are waiting for people. Frankly, I would ditch the transit info and change the holds to total holds.

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.

I do agree that we should change the phrase. Something shorter like "Waiting holds"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

We also got a few prefs already in that area, to influence how the information is shown. Maybe we could move comment 4 to a enh request and discuss if we want to change the terms in general? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

What prefs? Would you mind pointing me to them?

I haven't played much with them so far, but those are the ones I found: OPACItemsResultsDisplay HighlightOwnItemsOnOPAC HighlightOwnItemsOnOPACWhich OpacItemLocation -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
