What are course reserves?

• Textbooks, videos, CDs, and other material (either hard copies or digital) used for courses. They may include supplemental information such as tests, class notes, or solution sets.
• Reserve material is to be used for private study and research
• Concordia Libraries operate under the University's Policy on Copyright Compliance (PDF)
• Search for items in CLUES under "Course Reserves" by course code.

Hard copies

• Hard copies of reserve materials are kept in at the Reserve Room (Webster) or at the Circulation Desk (Vanier).
• They must be returned to the service point from which they were borrowed
• Due to high demand, course reserves:
  • Have shorter loan periods (e.g. 3 hrs, 3 days)
  • Cannot be renewed
  • Incur higher fines

Electronic copies

• Electronic copies of some reserve materials are available online
• In CLUES, these are identified by the message - *Click title for electronic copy*
• Access is restricted to Concordia students (authentication required)
• If you need more than one reading, login to MyCLUES and you will not have to authenticate for each title.
