Library Course Reserves

This news post is more than one year old. Some information may have changed.

Course instructors preparing for next term are reminded that scanning or photocopies of course materials need to be cleared for copyright before they can be made available to the class. Instructors are invited to use the new course reserve system developed and recently launched by the Libraries. Our new system offers many enhancements, including the ability to organize readings by week, linking to online readings, and the ability for students to log in and access their reserve readings for all courses in which they are enrolled.

Please submit your reading lists as soon as possible for courses to be offered during the Intersession term. We will endeavour to clear any items which require copyright clearance, but encourage instructors to provide as much lead time as possible.

Course Reading Lists should be directed to:
