Bearing in mind that calibre2opds already exists, and adding the facility to generate a static OPDS catalog would require development in Calibre I do not see why using calibre2opds is not the obvious solution at this point in time?

The problem is that these methods are not accessible to the average university faculty person. Help for esoteric tasks such as this from technology staff is rare to non-existant in all but the largest research institutions. As it is, getting a fixed IP address and permission to accept incoming requests (firewall) is very hard to get but still easier than implementing Calibre2opds as written. Otherwise, using Calibre Server to put an OPDS catalog online for students to access would be the best option for non-technical users.
