Placing a hold on a popular title

When you're in iBistro and want to place a hold on a popular title, look at the catalog record tab on the full details page, and click on the hyperlinked title that you will find in that record.

This will generate a title search with results showing all the matches in the system for that title, which means that you will see the title holdings in all formats available like large print, and paperback, sound recording, and video, as well as the regular hard cover copy.

That way you have more of a choice.
