All Course Reserve lists are made available on line by going to the Libraries Course Reserves Database.
Books, articles, and other materials, either from the library collection or the instructor's personal copies, may be placed on reserve by faculty or the teaching assistant. The course reserve service is available for courses in architecture, landscape architecture, and other related courses.
There are four ways to place materials on reserve:
These books are shelved in a separate section out on the main floor in call number order. The books do not need to be checked out to use them in the library. The material may be borrowed for two hours or overnight by coming in two hours before the library closes.
Books placed on Closed Reserve are kept behind our circulation desk. Students cannot browse these shelves but they can check them out for two hours or overnight. If you place your own personal copies of books in the library for your students to use, they must be placed on Closed Reserve.
These are course resources that can be viewed online; included are items such as scanned book pages, PowerPoint presentations, and other sources.
To place items on electronic reserve please go to the Course Reserves Services page.
You may place articles for your students to photocopy in the wall-mounted racks next to the photocopier room in the library. This is an informal arrangement. The photocopies are not listed in the CAT.
When placing books on reserve, please indicate whether you prefer the books be placed on Open or Closed Reserve.
