Before you can reserve items for an instructor, you need to link the titles of the items to a course that the instructor teaches. You can link existing titles from your library catalog to an instructor or course. Horizon creates an Instructor/Course/Title (ICT) record that links an instructor, course, and title together. Users can then search for items by instructor, course, or title.
