[IUG] Wierd glitch on OPAC

["Margaret Neill" <mneill at las-cruces dot org>]

Greetings all, 

 

A few of our staff have noticed something odd in the OPAC when
requesting a book. For a few of our titles (not all, which is why it's
so odd, it's not a system-wide change), the system is now requiring the
patron to choose an item. We have it set up in the catalog to
automatically do a bib hold (hold on item returned soonest) and we have
never seen this in the OPAC before. 

 

Screen shots of the two records we've found that do this:

 

 

 

 

 

Screen shot of another record, which doesn't require patron to choose,
when the hold is requested, it asks for a hold until date then goes to
this screen:

 

 

I can't figure out why those two records are doing this, there doesn't
seem to be anything in common in the records. I would prefer for the
holds generated by the OPAC to be bib-level. Help?
