Course records let you reserve items for an instructor for a specific course he or she teaches. A Course record includes the course’s name and description. Students can search for reserve items based on the course name or description. You can create new Course records as well as edit existing ones. If necessary, you can assign more than one name to the same course. (For example, the same calculus course may be listed as both Mathematics 300 and Physics 328.)
