Article Requests are somewhat similar to holds, but are not requests for an
item to check out. Instead, article requests are requests for a photocopy of a
particular section of a book ( most often ). This is very common in academic
libraries where researchers may request a copy of a single article found in a
journal.

This patch set adds the ability to place article requests in Koha. It allows
the control of what can be requested via the circulation rules. Since article
requests of electronic resources are not outside the realm of possibility, the
feature will check not only the items for requstability, but the record itself
as well ( i.e. both items.itype and biblio.itemtype ).

Article requests can be placed for patrons from the opac and staff intranet and
can be viewed in most areas where holds are viewed ( e.g. patron details,
record details, etc ).

There is a script to view article requests in progress within the circulation
module. Article requests can be Open ( i.e. new ), In Processing, Completed, or
Canceled. The status of a given request can be updated from this script.
