[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Course Reserves

[Jane Sandberg]

At LBCC, we use the same 9XX process as Sage, but we don't have a
search widget.  We would be pretty interested in being able to Browse
by Instructor or Course.  Our students tend to be able to find their
course or instructor on a list more successfully than trying to
remember the official name of the course or instructor. :-)
