Hi Michael You can still check it in, even if it isn't out, Koha just needs to know you have it in your hand, scanning it check in will mark it now waiting, since Koha knows you have it now. Chris On 2 February 2017 at 22:13, Michael Kuhn <mik@adminkuhn.ch> wrote:
Hi Josef and Vikram
yes it is possible, we use it in our library, you have to set "On shelf holds allowed" parameter in circulation rules.
then librarians could be informed by e-mail (but this send all added reserves not only the available ones) or just few times a day check the pending reserves page (it's what we do)

It's possible. You just need to update circulation policy and hold policy.
Thanks for your answers! I have set up a circulation rule accordingly and now I'm actually able to place a hold on an available book and the hold can be seen in the user account.
After that I do also see the book in the list "Holds to pull placed between 31/01/2017 and 02/02/2017" with the following explanation: "The following holds have not been filled. Please retrieve them and check them in." But in fact the book was not checked out so I cannot check it in, of course.
I don't see how to "pull" the book, so it would move to the list "Holds awaiting pickup"...
What am I missing?
