Course reserves for instructors
Important information concerning the use of copyrighted material for courses (paper and digital)
The Course Reserves room is currently closed; we are accepting requests for digital material only at this time.
Log into the Course Reserves system to submit requests for digital material for your course (articles, book chapters, etc.).
We are now able to scan book chapters from the Library’s print collection and make them digitally available for your students. Note that requests for more than one chapter from a book generally requires special permission and takes more time to process. We cannot scan entire textbooks, nor can we "switch out" chapters from week to week.
