  • Pika has record grouping to allow all formats and editions of a work to be grouped together to help users easily identify which formats are available.

  • The logic Pika relies on when placing a hold on all bibs for a grouped format (e.g. Book) is that Pika will place a hold on the first bib that displays in the grouped format:

    • For fiction, the editions are sorted so that the "most available" editions to the patron come first and the bib first in the sort will receive the hold.

    • For nonfiction, the editions are sorted so that the latest editions come first (highest numbered edition for primary sort, publication date as a secondary sort). The bib first in this sort will receive the hold.

  • Patrons can place holds on physical items as well as OverDrive eContent items. The sort and place hold logic for Overdrive holdings is the same as that for physical items in the catalog.

  • Patrons can search by title, author, subject or keyword search. In fact, patrons can search the entire catalog by starting with a blank search (searching for nothing returns everything), and click the Go button.
