We determined it would be best to start with just the Library Course Reserves Service Page.

Useful Links are defined by Library Staff.

The LER Subgroup discussed options for what we might want to include as a Useful Link:

    • Harvard Library Course Reserves Service Page?

    • Liaison contact information?

    • Links to individual Schools' course reserves information resources?

This led to a discussion about what ought to be included on the Service Page if the majority of our "how-to" content moves to Ex-Libris-provided links.

April 19, 2023

During our discussion of templates, we discussed how unwieldy large lists are. We discussed the possibility of having it be a default setting that all sections in the list are collapsed. This is a possibility, but requires further discussion–perhaps in consultation with Amy Deschenes. 

April 19, 2023: We decided to leave the sections as expanded.
