Course Reserves

Each semester we ask you if there are books or other materials you would like to put on reserve for your students, and send you (if applicable) a list of items previously on reserve for each course.

Place materials on physical Course Reserve or E-Reserve.

For assistance in placing physical course reserve materials or e-reserve items, please contact Jeri Fitzsimons.
