Course materials should incorporate academic departments

I like this idea, Beth! It would help bring in some parity with Syrup features as well. A few questions and thoughts:

* When we implement this module, I don't think we would use departments. Would this still meet your needs if "Departments" isn't a required field when creating/updating Courses?

* I was also wondering: would it be helpful to be able to associate a department with one or many contact people? I was musing that it might be helpful for staff to be able to jot down reminders of, say, "Who is the person I always talk to about anthropology textbooks?"

Jane, I think it would acceptable to make the "Department" field optional. There may be materials that are not associated with specific departments, such as equipment. There also may be materials that are shared by departments.

I think you idea of having a field for "Department Contact" is a good one. I would make this optional as well.

I've pushed an initial branch here: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/khuckins/lp1922388-course-academic-departments-submodule

The branch includes the addition of Academic Departments and Department Contacts in the staff client. It also has IDL and DB structure in place for the inclusion of a Course Map. It deviates slightly from the specs provided, in that the Departments table is set up similarly to the Course table - this made sense with the addition of Department Contacts, and would make a sensible, user-friendly location to place the Course Map as well.

Currently, it's lacking the OPAC side of things, which may be worth splitting off into a separate Launchpad ticket. Courses can be assigned to a department within the Course Edit page, as well as when creating a new Course. Because of this, this patch doesn't currently include an interface for the course map (though as mentioned above, all that's needed is to fill out an interface for it, the skeleton is there, as is some prime web estate.)
