Course Reserves

Course reserves are books, DVDs or other materials for students in specific courses or programs. Reserves can be borrowed for 2 hours at a time and are for use in the library.

Print Materials

We make an effort to place required course materials on reserve whenever possible. Instructors can also lend the library personal copies to be placed on reserve for all or part of the semester.

To place an item on course reserve, submit a Reserve Form. If you have questions about course reserves, contact the Access Services Librarian on your campus:
