Hi. Does anyone know how to allow patrons to place holds on books online? I enabled the "hold" option in the settings, but when I search for a book on our online catalog, the hold option does not show. Thanks!

Are you looking at your TinyCat catalog? I'm seeing the "Place hold" button on your search pages ( https://www.librarycat.org/lib/IRCCA/search/text/fiction ) and book detail pages ( https://www.librarycat.org/lib/IRCCA/item/293529045 ), as expected.

I figured out that I hadn't enabled the access to holds on the patron records. Thanks!
