How do I put an item on reserve for my course?
Answer
If you are faculty and would like to have items placed on reserve for one or more of your courses, follow the instructions below. Items can both be physical copies or scans of book chapters that your students will be able to access as PDFs from their own course reserves account.
How to Add a Course
- Log in to Course Reserves using your username and password. You will see a list of courses under Import Courses.
- Click on Add Course for each course for which you wish to request reserve items. The course will appear above, in the table "Current Courses."
