The biggest blocker for Course Reserves, in my opinion, is Hourly Circulation. This needs to be completed first, since for many academic institutions, the loan period on a reserve item is less than a full day. There is an RFC on the wiki (<a href="http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Hourly_Loans_RFC">http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Hourly_Loans_RFC</a>), and while it is not currently funded, that's being worked on. Hopefully it'll be ready for Koha 3.4, but it's a large development, so perhaps not.<br>
<br>Once that's in place, I have an idea for how to do Course Reserves pretty easily, so hopefully it would follow Hourly Circulation pretty quickly.<br><br><br>-Ian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 9:37 PM, Chris Cormack <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@bigballofwax.co.nz">chris@bigballofwax.co.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Speaking as the RM for the next release, which is due in april 2011,<br>
it is quite unlikely that one will make it in for this release.<br>
As far as I know, no one is currently working on it. Hopefully someone<br>
will get funded to work on it and to contribute it back to Koha as the<br>
original implementation was supposed to be.<br>
<br>
Someone might pick up the code that was released as Harley and spend<br>
some time bringing it up to a state where it could be interested, and<br>
if understand Daniel, fix the issues with it. Certainly if a working<br>
implementation that passed QA and applied cleanly to the master branch<br>
of the Koha reposity was submitted, then it would be considered for<br>
3.4.<br>
