There are two methods to retrieve items that have holds that will expire soon:

• BlueCloud Analytics
• WorkFlows Report

What to do: Look up each item in the catalog. If there are copies than can still fill the hold, extend the hold expiration date. If all copies are not holdable (missing, discard, no request, etc), remove the user hold. You may request this item via interlibrary loan if the user still wants it.
