In OPAC, patrons understand "Available" by :"I can come to the library & get the book" (either for reading in the library, or issuing) If the book is on hold, then it's no more possible : the item is on the shelves of books waiting to be picked-up by the patron who holded it. If a patron want to put a hold on OPAC, he will be warned that he will be the 2nd to put an hold on this book. It's an acceptable workaround (although not long term) But if the patron look at OPAC, see "available", and come to the library... he will discover that the book is not really available... -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc NOUVEAU TELEPHONE : 04 91 81 35 08 _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
