About Course Reserves
Course Reserves are books and media from the Library that are related to current courses. By faculty request, materials are relocated from the main Library spaces and kept behind the circulation desk for patrons to borrow. Course Reserves are for in-Library use only and can be checked out for up to 2 hours at a time.
You may view Course Reserves for your class on the Course Reserves list. Click on the name of your course to see what materials are on Reserve, and whether or not they are currently available to be checked out.
