Finding and Placing Holds on New DVDs

What Does On Order Mean? How Do I Search for On Order DVDs?

• What does on order mean?

  Titles that are new and on order have only very basic information. You might see items for children in an adult search. Audiences will get corrected when we receive the DVD and it goes through cataloging. This is a trade-off that our selection department has made. Adding incomplete records when we place the order allows you to place holds earlier.
