--- Comment #2 from skVT <[email protected]> --- Karen, that would not work for our purposes, for the following reasons: At the college where I work, I share the link to the Course Reserves with all faculty in preparation for the upcoming semester. I ask them to review the courses they will be teaching and respond via a form, linked to a spreadsheet that I then work from to organize, activate and prepare the lists. I often do not know exactly who will be teaching what, when, so it is not practical for me to activate all courses before getting these responses; I just send out the link and form to ALL faculty/adjunct faculty. Furthermore, once I activate courses so instructors can actually see them in Koha (ideally a month prior to the semester, to give me time to make purchases and procure ILLs), patrons are blocked from borrowing those books. That's not necessary, so far in advance We aren't concerned about Course Reserves lists being "behind the scenes" because our course reserves are not private or confidential. I think that most student patrons rarely use this function in the OPAC, and when they do, it's for a course they're enrolled in, which would in that case already be active and ready to go. You could also put a clear note about this beside course reserves search bar/page in the OPAC: "Course Reserves are subject to change. A list is not confirmed and available until marked 'Active'." (Or something along those lines.) Perhaps, users could even apply a filter to show 'active' courses only. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
