Please note:  Modernized LHR search results are expected to appear in Circulation in the next 6 months.

Bug fixes

Incorrect holds no longer show up on the Pull List

Items were appearing on some institutions' Pull Lists that were not requestable.  Now, only requestable items appear on Pull Lists, allowing you to fulfill patron hold requests accurately and efficiently.

Manual recall dates that are set beyond the library's policy are now triggering a descriptive error message

Libraries were receiving a non-descriptive validation message, "Recall date," when you input a date beyond a maximum value by policy for an item being recalled.

Now, if a date beyond policy is entered for a recalled item, you will receive the error message, "Recall Date is beyond the system limit."  If a date beyond policy is set for renewing or changing a due date, you will receive a message that states, "Set 'Due date' is beyond the system limit."

Institutions with no open hours configured in the Registry are now able to see Availability information for items

If an institution's open hours were not set properly, item availability information should still have been returned in searches but was not showing through WorldCat Discovery.  Now, availability information for items with valid holdings will show to users, regardless of open hours settings.
