Course Reserves

 

Course reserves are materials - typically books, videos, and other audiovisual materials - a faculty member wants an entire class to have access to, but chooses not to make students purchase. An example would be a book where only a chapter or two are relevant. University Library has books as well as video and audio recordings on reserve. Check-out times vary between 3-hours and 1 week, with fines applying after the due date or time, so pay attention when you checkout the item.

First, choose "Professor" or "Course."

Second, type professor's name (e.g. Herren, Graley) or course name or catalog number (e.g. Bob Dylan or ENGL 384).  

 

Location

Course reserves are located at the Connection Center on the 3rd floor of the Conaton Learning Commons. For specific questions about course reserves, contact Meg Martin, Circulation Supervisor.
