What Are Course Reserves?

Your textbook and other course materials -- books, media, calculators, anatomical models and even rocks -- may be on Course Reserve if your instructor has provided the library with a copy.

These materials are held at the Circulation Desk and checkout times are limited (usually 2 hours) to allow all students in a particular course to share the materials equitably. Course Reserve materials may only be used inside the library.

Special Note for Biology & Chemistry Students: Course Reserves include a copy of both the Biology and the Chemistry lab manual which can be copied instead of printing. This will save you time. Due to high demand, we recommend copying/printing well before the class start time.
