Hi Manos, Actually administer koha for an university's library with small collection of books and large number of students. its the library's requirement not to let a patron hold a particular item throughout the semester and not letting other to have it for a once.

I know that my post doesn't give you the answer you seek, but out of curiosity, why would you want a book to remain in your library, unread, perhaps for ages? I can understand that a patron that has already borrowed a book, is to have the lowest priority when vying with other patrons, to borrow it again, but should no one want to read this item why not let him/her have it again?

A more interesting question is, how does one prioritize two patrons' requests, that have both borrowed the specific item before? Does one take into account the number of times each has checked it out, the date they last returned it to the library, or simply give it to the patron that has re-requested the item earlier?

Hi there, Is possible to restrict a patron from checking same item twice back to back? A book must be checked by at least one patron before s/he can check it out again. I am using koha 3.02 thanks in advance.
