Course Reserves

Faculty may place circulating library materials, their own personal or department-owned materials on Course Reserve to be accessible to students for classroom assignments. 

Course Reserve materials are shelved under prefix/course number and findable online in the library system by prefix/course number and also by instructor's last name. 

• Course Reserve items are available for students to checkout for 'In Library Use Only' for up to two (2) hours at a time. 
• Instructors may specify the span of days the material will remain on Course Reserves (if not specified, the material will be removed at the end of the academic year).
• Unfortunately we cannot make available workbooks, standardized tests, test booklets, and the like. These fall in the category of "consumable" works, and sharing these via Course Reserves does not qualify as fair use.* 
• Library staff perform due diligence to protect materials loaned and given to us; however, know that your materials will likely return to you looking careworn. All lending/borrowing arrangements present the risk of damage or loss, so if this worries you, please explore other options for sharing course material with your students.

Material will be available for student use within 24-48 hours of submission.  To best accommodate all faculty, Reserve materials will be processed in the order they are received.
