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), Oakland (F. W. Olin Library), and New York City (Shanahan 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 or another learning platform, or they may be available through the library's licensed collection.
