What is Course Reserve?

Your professors and instructors place materials such as books and articles on Course Reserve to help ensure that many students (sometimes an entire class) may access and read the same materials within a short period of time.

To enable this, the loan periods of Course Reserve items are much shorter than the loan period for regular library books.
