[Koha] trouble placing hold on book

[Bob Birchall]

Hi Shelley,

What version of Koha are you using?

Check your circulation rule - how many holds are allowed for that 
category of patron?  What is the holds policy for that library?

Also check the following circulation system preferences to be sure they 
have the value you want:
- CircControl
- HomeorHoldingBranch
- all of the preferences under the heading Holds Policy

Hope that helps,
Bob Birchall
