Fixing this issue is critical as it is a massive pain point for staff. We had a title on the paging list with 18 entries, even though only 4 items were available to fill holds at that library. Basing the paging entries of items solely on the number of holds for that title doesn't make sense -- libraries should see paging entries based on the available items that are eligible to fill those holds. If I have two items to fill two holds, I should only see that title on my list twice. The current structure is a waste of paper and staff time.

This has come up at multiple meetings with our circ colleagues as a pain point. Having the title duplicated on the paging list doesn't serve a practical purpose for staff members pulling items to fill holds, and it's ultimately a source of confusion and a waste of paper.

I agree, we've received numerous complaints about this over the years from our member libraries. For example, a book club has 15 holds for one title, a library with 1 available copy has the title repeated on their paging list 15 times.

Any update on this? This was marked "under review" over 5 months ago.

We have received sooooooo many complaints about this system behavior over the years. Staff have had to waste an inordinate amount of time on deduping the produced lists, which has only gotten worse with the introduction of the pagination issue (SIERRA-38727) that was introduced in 6.0.
