Library Reserves enable faculty to share both library material, and personally owned material, with students in a controlled lending environment. Limited loan periods ensure students enrolled in a particular course have access to high demand materials. Physical materials are located behind the library service desk and digital materials are located on a course specific webpage that can be embedded into BlackBoard, see instructions below.

The Library can assist you with obtaining licensing for materials that exceed the Fair Dealing or education exceptions allotments in the Copyright Act. A license will often give us permission to make use of a specific work for a specific class, usually for a fee. In these cases, the Library will set up E-Reserve access for your class only.
The process for obtaining licensing varies dependent on the copyright holder. It's important to give the Library plenty of time to track down licensing that can take anywhere from days to weeks to months.
Contact the Copyright Specialist as soon as possible.
Reserve requests can be submitted online or via the form below.
