  1. Physically remove the expired and canceled holds from your physical hold shelf, and check them in with the Clear Hold Shelf checkin modifier enabled.

DO NOT use the Clear These Holds button within the Holds Shelf screen. Clicking this presumes you want to send all expired back to the shelf or on to the owning library or the next library with a hold. Using the Clear Holds Shelf checkin modifier allows you to keep expired holds on the shelf a while longer on a case-by-case basis. Please be mindful of other libraries’ materials when doing this.
