How do I Suspend/Reactivate my holds?

The WCCLS catalog now lets you Suspend (make Inactive) existing Hold Requests from your Patron Account Requests list.

  • Any hold request in "Active" status may be converted to "Inactive" status until a future Reactivation date of your choice.
  • You do not lose your place in the Hold Queue during the Inactive period.

You may also choose a future Activation date at the time of your original hold request.

You can Manage your Hold Requests from your Patron Account.

  • Requests will automatically convert to 'Active' on the date specified by you during the Suspend process
  • You may extend an existing Reactivation date

Your position in the Hold Queue will continue to advance during the Inactive period.

  • Inactive holds are "invisible" in the hold queue until they are Reactivated, but they retain their place based on the date/time they were originally placed
  • If a suspended hold reaches the top of the Hold Queue, it will remain there until it is Reactivated.
  • If a suspended hold has not yet reached the top of the Queue, it will regain its original position when it is Reactivated.
