Course Reserves are required class materials placed behind the Circulation Desk at the request of course instructors for students in those courses to check out. The library does not order textbooks or place e-books on reserve. Items not already in the library's collections requiring copyright permission must go through the Reserves process. Reserve requests require a completed form and citation for copyright review.

1. What are Course
Reserves?
Course Reserves are required class
materials placed on reserve behind
the Circulation Desk at the request
of the course instructor. These
items may then be checked out by
students in the course. The library
does not order textbooks. We also
do not place e-books on reserve.
Items requested but not found in the
library’s catalogs or databases
requiring copyright must go through
Reserves to obtain copyright,
unless otherwise stated.
