<p class="MsoNormal">We are discussing the same thing (as of today) so great timing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We <i>do not </i>offer online course reserves at this time. Today I am going through the most popular course reserves and seeing how much multi-user licenses will cost. This
<i>may </i>be a partial solution to <i>some </i>reserves, not all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m really interested in learning what others are doing. We aren’t going to be open until April 27<sup>th</sup> (at the verrrry earliest) so this is a crucial service that will be missing from our now-online library services.<o:p></o:p></p>
