Narrative:
We were instructed to hold at a fix on airway. The instruction 'hold as published' was not used. We entered standard right turn. On outbound leg; we were told that it was a left pattern. I reviewed jeppspro high alt; but did not see any holding pattern at the fix. Other holding patterns were shown; so I assumed that it was standard entry. After we were told that we turned in the wrong direction; a closer analysis of jeppspro showed that the fixes were not selected; and the holding patterns shown were over navaids (which were selected). As soon as the fixes were highlighted; the correct holding pattern was shown. This error is also attributed to the fatigue; since this was a third leg of 4 leg [while] pairing with crew of 3. With crew of 3 there is significant degradation of alertness and many minor errors; such as missed communication; slow responses; etc.; were shown on this leg and subsequent leg. We were all fatigued with only about two 3 hour rest periods in about 20 hour period.
