What are course reserves?
Course Reserves are here to support your students by providing access to your course materials for a limited checkout period. Students who may not be able to access course texts are able to check them out through the library. These can be items that come from the library or your own personal items!
How do they work?
Course reserves are organized by the professor and class name. You can place as many items as you would like on reserve. You may also choose if you would like an item to be held on reserve for a semester or for the entire academic year. Reserve materials are located on shelves behind the Reference Desk. Students can check out the material using their student IDs, the same as they would for other physical materials. The time frame the student is able to check out items is up to you. The options are:
| 3 Hour (Library Use Only) | This material is checked out for a 3-hour period anytime during library hours. |
| Due in 12 Hours | This material is checked out for a 12-hour period only. |
| Due in 24 Hours | |
| Due in 72 Hours |
