- <para>This preference is a binary setting which controls the
- ability of patrons to place holds on items that are not
- currently checked out. Setting it to "Don't allow" allows
- borrowers to place holds on items that are checked out but not
- on items that are on the shelf (or assumed available in the
- library), setting it to "Allow" allows borrowers to place
- holds on any item that is available for loan whether it is
- checked out or not. This setting might be set to "Allow" if
- the library system is a multi branch system and patrons used
- the hold system to request items from other libraries, or if
- the library wanted to allow users to place holds on items from
- home through the OPAC. Setting it to "Don't allow" would
- enforce a first come, first served standard.</para>

- <para>An item's hold status doesn't not affect whether or not the item is 'available'
- until the item is in 'waiting' status. Items with on-shelf holds will show as
- available until a librarian has pulled them from the shelf and checked the item in
- make it show 'waiting'.</para>
