Course Reserves Update

We continue to work on the migration to a new course reserve system, Leganto. The current plan is to go live to instructors on April 23rd. There will be training for ZSR folks next week on April 16th (in-person) and on April 17th (on Zoom). Everyone should have received a calendar invite for both trainings, but you need only attend one.
