What are reserves?

Course reserves are readings for your class that your instructor has made available through the library.

Where can I find the Reserves online?

You can access our course reserves lists from the library's homepage 24/7 using the Course Reserves link.

From this page, you can search everything your professor has placed on Reserve.

Need some help finding a specific reserve item?

Just follow these easy steps.

1: Use the column sort options or keyword search the reserves page by Course name, course number, department, or professor(s).

2. Choose the correct course. Note: Double-check that you have chosen the correct course section and professor.

3. Click on the link for the correct course and professor.

4. Review the list of titles for the reading you need. Note: If the list is long, type in part of the title or author's name into the search box (#1 shown above) to filter your results quickly.
