Place Materials on Course Reserve
Course Reserves has a digital-first policy. If we cannot fill a request digitally we will place a physical item on reserve at the Circulation desk.
Requests should still be submitted through our Course Reserves system.
Required course-related materials can be put on reserve for you by the Libraries staff.
Materials You Can Place on Reserve
- Links to the Libraries’ e-journals, ebooks, and databases
- Scans of physical items when available
- Audio and Video materials
