Course ReservesKelvin Smith Library offers physical course reserves to faculty and instructors as an affordable and
equitable method to provide materials to their students. The library provides controlled and secure
access to these materials at the Service Center on the first floor of Kelvin Smith Library.
After an item is placed on reserve, it is removed from general circulation, given a shorter loan period,
and placed in the course reserves area at the Kelvin Smith Library Service Center. By using a shorter
loan period, the library ensures greater availability of course materials to all students. Both print and
audiovisual materials are eligible to be placed on reserve at the request of course instructors.
Materials are automatically removed from course reserves at the end of each semester, returned to
the general collection with standard circulation loan rules, and a new request must be submitted each
semester for materials to return to course reserves.
