Vegas - a observation and question?

If someone borrows IDCC shares and sells them to be short, does the buyer on the other side of the short transaction have IDCC shares that his broker can in turn lend out for someone else to sell to be short? Is this like the fractional reserve system in banking, where one loan then triggers multiple loan and deposit transactions?

Thanks - Tomcat
