[Koha] Koha Holds Management

[Jim Minges]

Hello,

Do any other library systems or consortia or multibranch systems have an 
interest in differentiating the ability to place holds on specific items 
in order to reserve certain materials for local library use. We are 
looking at sponsorship through Liblime of a holds policy enhancement to 
allow holds requests to be treated in one of three ways in a multiple 
library environment:

1. Items that cannot be held at all. These items may still circulate, 
but patrons must come to the library to borrow them.
2. Items that can be placed on hold by patrons who belong to the item’s 
library. The patron’s home branch and the item’s branch must agree, or 
else the patron will not be able to place a hold.
3. Items that can be placed on hold by any patron, regardless of whether 
the patron and the item are attached to the same branch. (Most items 
will fall in this category.)

Just wondering if other Koha users have any interest in this...

Jim
