Textbooks & Reserves

Find textbooks and items on reserve for your courses.

Textbook & Course Reserves

On ReserveThe library will place on reserve books, articles or other items that faculty would like to have available to their students.

We recommend placing on reserve multiple copies of course textbooks. This helps to ensure that students who cannot afford to purchase books still have access.

To place materials on reserve, use our online Reserve Form

If you have any questions you can email us at ask@com.libanswers.com.
