Serial Holds/Serial Multi Volume Holds

The Serial/Multi Volume Holds dialog box appears when you select a bibliographic-level serial title or a title with multiple parts for a request and your library allows first available copy requests Hold requests for specific issues of a serial title (such as the May 2015 issue of Horticulture Magazine ) or specific parts of a multi-part title (such as the first season of a television series on DVD).. If the bibliographic record includes issue designations, you can select a specific issue. If there are no issue designations, you can select a specific item. If the bibliographic record is not a serial, but it has volume data, you can select a specific volume.
