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.

How to submit your requests
Requests can be submitted using the online request form in the Course Reserves system. You can fill in the citation and we will make it available to your students via the course readings system. If you have a PDF version of the material, you may upload it.
The Library verifies that the readings you requested or uploaded for your course, follow the Copyright Guidelines for Instructors as well as the Library licenses for electronic resources.
Whenever the Library has an electronic resource such as an article, a book, or a book chapter, we link to it rather than providing a PDF. This way, we do not need to pay an additional copyright fee for a resource for which we have already paid the access fee. If you do not want the PDF replaced with a link, please indicate this in the notes field for each uploaded item.
