Not currently. The slot management page available to Course
Coordinators needs to be modified to include an additional option -
type of output (HTML, CSV or Excel) - to allow creation of a file
containing lists of students who have self-scheduled slot(s) if either
the CSV or Excel options are selected.

This would require modifying LON-CAPA to include an additional
attribute for a slot (e.g., Viewer) which could contain
username:domain for users allowed to view which students had scheduled
a particular slot. One TA/slot could be enforced by the Course
Coordinator by only including one user as a Viewer for a particular
slot.

Several changes were made for LON-CAPA version 2.9 (which should be
officially announced fairly soon) to allow students to display
information about their current reservations. A PDF of my
presentation at the 2009 LON-CAPA conference includes some screenshots
of the student interface (e.g., a "Manage Reservations" icon has been
added to the Main Menu - when in course context with a student role).
See: http://loncapa.org/presentations/new_in_29.pdf
Students can also display a log of their own slot reservation history.
