GIL-Find: Course Reserves

 

Course Reserves are items placed on limited access checkout to ensure that students and faculty will have timely access to course-related materials and library resources.  They can be either electronic or physical items.  Physical items are available at the library Circulation Desk, and circulation periods for print reserves are determined by the course instructor. Information about what items an instructor has place on reserve is available through GIL, the Library's catalog under Course Reserves.  Additional information is available HERE.
