What are reserves?

Textbooks are defined as books and other materials adopted and required or recommended to be purchased by students for use in class. Textbooks provided or loaned to the Library by Departments, Divisions or instructors may be placed on reserve for the convenience of the students. The instructors determine the check-out period.

How can I put items on reserve?

If the Library already owns the current edition of the item, we will place the item on Reserve. Library course reserves are matched every semester with the current textbook adoption list. Old editions will be returned to the faculty. If you have an extra copy of the current edition, please consider bringing it to the library to put on reserve.

The Library will provide links to eResources that are included in the textbook adoption list. Instructors can also notify Library Staff of eResources and add them at your request.

The Library will provide links to OERs that are included in the textbook adoption list.

The Library can add Instructor's powerpoints, links to optional materials, lecture notes if they are supplied by the Instructor in a digital format. Physical items can be brought to the Library and kept with our print Course Reserves collection.
