[Koha] Is it possible to reserve available books?

Hi Michael,
It's possible. You just need to update circulation policy and hold policy.

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
