Is the textbook I need available in Course Reserves?
Maybe! You can search for books and other items placed on reserve by looking up your course number or instructor name in the library catalog. Not all instructors place books or materials in Course Reserves. If you don't see your materials, you can ask your instructor to consider making them available through Course Reserves.
Course Reserves for Instructors
Placing materials on reserve gives students alternative access to course materials that may be supplemental, expensive, difficult to obtain, or in high demand. See Course Reserves for Instructors for more information and to submit items to be made available to students through Course Reserves.
