How can I access Course Reserve textbooks?
Answer
Students
Course Reserve materials are typically available at the library for in-library checkout only:
- Library open hours
- If you would like to see if your class text is available in the library, you can look up Course Reserves here.
Some limited items may be available digitally-- if your Course Reserve text is available online, it will be inside your online course shell (typically in Canvas)-- please contact your instructor to see if this applies to your class.
- Not sure what your student email address is? Look it up here.
