From Feb. 1 until March 28, it will not be possible for Library patrons or staff to place holds on library materials. This temporary change is unfortunate, but necessary in order to ensure that library records are migrated accurately to the new catalog system. During conversion to Polaris, the hold system will not be stable. Library staff doesn't want to promise something it can’t deliver. So the best solution is to briefly suspend holds until the system is operational. The Library will continue to fill requests for holds that have already been placed.
