🔹 What are course reserves? 🔹 Where can I find textbooks for my class? 🔹 Can I borrow assigned readings from the library? 🔹 What does “on reserve” mean?

Course reserves are materials—like textbooks, readings, or films—that professors set aside for specific courses. These items usually have shorter borrowing periods so that more students can access them during the term.

To find out what’s on reserve for your course, ask at the Access Desk or search the library catalogue by course code or instructor name.
