1. If all the copies of the book are checked out then only the
system allows reservation.
2. Once a reserved title is checked in. The system intimates the
library staff at the circulation desk that the item is reserved. And
should not be returned to circulation racks. Because if some other
user may request for check out of that item.
3. Hence the reserve item is always at the circulation desk.
Please clarify

Aside from reserve, a student can be able to check
out an open-shelf book from OPAC himself, as long as the book is
already available and it is in his hands. The book's info will
already be appended to his account, pending verification of the
librarian. Then, before he leaves the library, he will have to go
through the librarian at the circulation desk, who will check out
the patron's ID and already see the book info, without entering
it. Then he will just check if the item on hand is the exact same
item that the student self-checked out. After verification, then
the patron will be given the check out slip.
