Create a reservation

When a book is already on loan to someone and another member wants to reserve it, you create a reservation: as soon as the book comes back, it will be set aside for the next member.

From the book's page

1. Open the record page of the requested book
2. Click Reserve
3. Identify the member (scan their card or type their name)
4. Validate

The reservation appears in the Active reservations list on the book's page.

See all reservations

From the top navigation bar, click Reservations.

The page lists all current reservations with:

• The reserved book
• The waiting member
• The creation date
• The status: Pending, Ready for pickup, Fulfilled, Expired

Queue: several reservations on the same book

If several members reserve the same book, BibliOfelia automatically manages the queue: the first to have reserved is served first when the book returns.

The book's page shows the member's position in the queue ("reservation 2 of 3").

Once the book is back

When the book is returned, BibliOfelia automatically updates the first reservation to Ready for pickup. You then see:

• An alert on the Return page at scan time
• A notification in the Notifications to do section of the dashboard

See the next steps: Notifications and follow-ups, then Pickup and expiration.

Cancel a reservation

If the member no longer wants the book, open the reservation and click Cancel. The book becomes available again (or moves to the next member in the queue).
