Hello, here is a branch that uses the staff users workstation ou for the default pickup lib instead of the staff users home ou.

This isn't the full solution described by Jeff. I just needed something better than what the current behavior is for our use case.

We have per staff member logins, and we have staff that physically work a different branches. Currently when those staff are at a different branch, they constantly have to change the hold pickup location from their home lib depending on what location they are at. We don't do much centralized phone help, most of our patrons call their home library for help, so this is enough to fix the problem for us.

If a patron has a default hold pickup lib set, that does take precedence over the workstation ou.

I would rather use the patrons home_ou, but my perl is better than my javascript, so I went with this first.
