FW: create lists for cataloging holds

[David Ruml <David.Ruml@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since a couple people have asked how we run a list of items that are waiting
to be cataloged AND have holds, I am forwarding my response to the whole
list. (see below)

If "bib hold exists" and "item hold exists" aren't search options for you,
you may need to ask Innovative to turn it on.  In other words, in your
search criterion, you would indicate bib record, and then "hold" is one of
the search options in the next box.  Once you choose "hold", then the next
box will either be "exists" or "not exists".
