Hello Michael, 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) regards Josef čt 2. 2. 2017 v 11:11 odesílatel Michael Kuhn <mik@adminkuhn.ch> napsal:
Hi
In Koha it is possible to place holds on books that are CHECKED OUT.
Is it also possible to place a reservation on a book that is NOT checked out?
The idea is that the user is at home, finding an interesting book in the OPAC - the book is available but he cannot go immediately to the library to pick it up. Thus he wants to place a reservation on the book so noone else can check it out - the library will then take that book out of the shelf waiting for the user to arrive at the library.
This means:
* In the OPAC there has to be a possibility for the user to place the reservation * The library needs to be informed so the book can be taken out of the shelf, waiting for the user
Is this possible in Koha?
