Using course reserves, you can save on the cost of textbooks and more.
For Students
Has your professor reserved materials for class at the Libraries?
- Select your course on Canvas and look under the "Library Reserves/Guides" and "Panopto Video tabs" to see what's on hold for you here.
- Access physical items on reserve by visiting the circulation desk at Baker-Berry, Dana, Feldberg, or Matthews-Fuller.
Once you have finished with a reserve item, return it to the desk you checked it out from.
Remember: you share course reserves with your classmates. This means you can only check them out for limited periods, up to 24 hours at a time.
Waitlist
If a classmate is already using an item, add your name to a waitlist. You'll receive an email notification when the item becomes available again. Please pick up the item within 30 minutes from when we send you the notification. Don't let fines build up! Return your course reserves before your 24-hour period expires.
Refer to the Borrowing page for more information.
Tuck and Thayer
Reserves for courses at Tuck School of Business and Thayer School of Engineering are organized by course in the Library Search. Filter by instructor or course name in the left menu. Electronic book access varies by provider.
For Faculty and Academic Coordinators
Want to reserve materials for your students at the Libraries? You'll receive an email from Libraries staff reminding you to submit reserve requests before the upcoming term.
- Please submit your requests well in advance, so our staff can process everything before the term starts.
- Use the Course Reserves Faculty Guide to build your class lists and place course reserve requests in our online system.
- You can easily copy any lists for future terms.
