Course Reserves

Welcome to Course Reserves

Course reserves are library materials that faculty request to be set aside for use in certain courses during a particular semester. Course reserves may consist of electronic (online) materials, print (hard copy) materials, or a combination of the two.

  • Print materials on reserve are accessible to students studying in Boston (Snell Library) and in Oakland (F. W. Olin Library).
  • Electronic reserves, or e-reserves may consist of e-books, articles, streaming media, databases, document uploads, or other online course materials. Instructors may provide access to them on Canvas, another learning platform, or they may be available through the library.
