We carried out spectroscopic monitoring of 21 low-redshift Seyfert 1 galaxiesusing the Kast double spectrograph on the 3-m Shane telescope at LickObservatory from April 2016 to May 2017. Targeting active galactic nuclei (AGN)with luminosities of {\lambda}L{\lambda} (5100 {\AA}) = 10^44 erg/s andpredicted H{\beta} lags of 20-30 days or black hole masses of 10^7-10^8.5 Msun,our campaign probes luminosity-dependent trends in broad-line region (BLR)structure and dynamics as well as to improve calibrations for single-epochestimates of quasar black hole masses. Here we present the first results fromthe campaign, including H{\beta} emission-line light curves, integratedH{\beta} lag times (8-30 days) measured against V-band continuum light curves,velocity-resolved reverberation lags, line widths of the broad H{\beta}components, and virial black hole mass estimates (10^7.1-10^8.1 Msun). Ourresults add significantly to the number of existing velocity-resolved lagmeasurements and reveal a diversity of BLR gas kinematics at moderately highAGN luminosities. AGN continuum luminosity appears not to be correlated withthe type of kinematics that its BLR gas may exhibit. Follow-up direct modelingof this dataset will elucidate the detailed kinematics and provide robustdynamical black hole masses for several objects in this sample.
