Course Reserve

Type of Reserve Materials

Course Reserve makes course material available to as many students as possible. It contains:

• Material set aside by instructors for students to read, listen, or view, such as class notes, homework sets and assigned reading.
• Some high use items such as test preparation guides or previous editions of textbooks.
• Course Reserve is included in the Library Toolbox embedded in the Canvas.

Students can access reserve materials, such as e-books, e-journal articles, e-lecture notes, 24 hours a day through the campus network, regardless of library opening hours or the availability of materials.
