Hello Michael, yes it is possible, we use it in our library, you have to set "On shelf holds allowed" parameter in circulation rules.
then librarians could be informed by e-mail (but this send all added reserves not only the available ones) or just few times a day check the pending reserves page (it's what we do) regards Josef čt 2. 2. 2017 v 11:11 odesílatel Michael Kuhn <[email protected]> napsal: > 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.
