There are two types of reserve materials:
- eReserves are items that are scanned and placed on the web. They are available only to students enrolled in a class and can be accessed from anywhere. eReserves can be many different types of material, including articles, notes, book chapters, music, videos, etc.
- Print reserves are in hard copy form. Students must go to the library where the professor has placed materials for a class and check them out, generally for a two-hour loan. Reserves can also be in many formats, including books, articles, old tests, DVD/VHS/CD, thumb drives, etc. Including personal copies owned by the instructure.
The reserve policies and forms for faculty are available on the
Course Reserves Libguide.
You should also look at the instructions for accessing the Ares reserves management system.
