[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Course Reserves

[Yamil Suarez]

At Berklee we created a custom written PHP/MySQl/Apache course reserve
platform that would connect to our older Horizon ILS and it used barcodes
extensively. When we migrated to Evergreen in 2012 we were able to tweak
the code to connect to the Evergreen DB. Also, since the barcodes did not
change we were able to more easily continue using the tool. Though now the
code is old and could use security patches and new features.

Sadly the code was not written by me, and don't think it is in a state that
could be shared easily with others to quickly rebuild it for their own use.
Though I can share the link, and if I get permission, the code or
screenshots to use as inspiration.

Later,
Yamil
