[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Items not on Reserve being held for a patron

[Joan Kranich]

Hi Dawn,

Our libraries do not change the status of the item when a patron asks for
the item to be set aside for them.  Most of our libraries place a Hold for
the patron, check in the item, and place it on the Holds Shelf.
