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?

Best wishes: Michael
