Begin Research: Find Course Reserves

How Do I Find Textbooks That My Professor Has Placed on Reserve?

Search for your course reserves from the Library Homepage or wherever you see the Course Reserves option. You can search either by your professor's name or by the course name or code.

Once you know that your textbook is on reserve you will need to ask for it at the library circulation desk. Most reserve items can only be checked out for an hour or two so that everyone in the class can have an opportunity to use them.
