Yes, using the Holds policy by item type controls in the circ and fine
rules. I haven't ever tried it, but I'm sure you could use circ rules
to limit which libraries can request holds (technically, the method I
am thinking of is undocumented, and is considered a bug, but you may
be convincing me that it's not a bug and actually is useful).
