Course Reserve is a service offered to teaching staff to make course related materials available to students and other users in a one-stop-shop manner. Materials in the Course Reserve are for short loans, either 5-hour or 1-day as designated by the teaching staff, so as to expedite circulation. If you have not used this service before, please read our Depositing Policy. If you are depositing photocopies of journal articles or book chapters, please make sure you enclose a statement stating that you have already obtained permission from the copyright owner(s).
IMPORTANT:
When depositing Course Reserve, you must state clearly the name of the instructor,
the course code and the name of the course.

All course materials have to be reviewed annually. The Library will generate and send lists of Course Reserve items to instructors or LLOs for review. Items not recommended to keep will either be sent back to the instructors or returned to the Circulation Collection or Media Resources Collection.
