This could be similar to the functionality in Overdrive/Libby that might say You are 26th in line. 40 copies in use. 427 people waiting in total, 24 people waiting per copy.
Perhaps "You have been added to the queue for this title. There are 427 patrons waiting and 40 copies in the consortium. For more info, contact your home library. " At least with these details, patrons are less likely to be discouraged, give up and just go and buy the book.Christy Sayre

The arrangement of the info is definitely confusing. Staff really are looking for either the last borrower, or info about the current loan, so that mock-up (lastCircB) nicely arranges this info in a way that's more clear.

This is something we really need -- the only patrons that are renewed for 3 years are resident patrons. Our libraries register other types of patrons on a daily basis and usually they neglect to change the expiry on those.

Even with "Credit for Overpayment" set to No and staff permissions removed for "Create a Patron Account Credit", the system doesn't prevent them from creating a credit when a lost and paid item is recovered.

This would be a huge timesaver. We already use Leap, but it would save time and be less confusing if we could see remote records side by side with our existing ones within Leap. Switching between tabs in the browser or scanning across different browser windows introduces a drag on continuity of the workflow and slows down decisionmaking.

In general, it would be helpful to tie the expiry date to the patron type, and let us configure it. In our consortium, only Resident patrons have a 3 year expiry. All others, such as Non-Resident, Teacher, Student, Reciprocal, have a 1 year expiry, and frequently, changing that due to patron type is overlooked, which is difficult to clean up.

Please fix this critical flaw. Because of this, we're actually hindering library service and wasting human resources throughout our system.

...or just include the date the item was returned. This is a common question our libraries hear from their homebound patrons.
When a hold request is placed, Polaris performs an eligibility evaluation only once—at the moment when the request is first placed. Polaris does not re-evaluate eligibility later. So if Polaris is configured to use hold trapping preferences that prefers "my patron" but some temporary circumstance prevents the assigned library's item from filling a hold for the library's patron, the hold must now be filled by a different library. This can be mitigated if staff notice the problem and delete and replace the hold, but this is a lot of extra overhead and in all likelihood the problem will go unnoticed. The result is that the trapping preference is not honored, and the patron may need to wait weeks for their hold to be filled even though their library owns a copy.
