[OPLINTECH] Technology for curbside pickup service

[Chad Neeper]

Unofficially speaking for the libraries I work with, who mostly don't
monitor/participate on OPLINTECH, I haven't had anyone ask about scheduling
for their curbside pickup or drive-thru windows. They seem mostly to be
scheduling certain regular hours, during which the service will be
available.

Speaking personally as a patron, I hope libraries *don't* try to schedule
individual patrons. Personally, I find that to be a deterrent.

2 cents,
Chad
