We can in theory look up Course data straight from the source. This makes our 
project 
dependent on connecting to the TWU database though, which in turn makes it 
useless 
outside of TWU. We need to come up with a way to modularize this dependency.

There are two competing factors here.

1. We want the course data to be accurate and up to date
2. We want our website to easily be used outside of TWU.

I suggest we have our own tables which store course information about the book. 
The 
book tables would point to the course tables. The course tables would be 
populated, 
however, by a separate django application which talks to TWU's database.
