Course Reserves for Students

What is Course Reserve?

Instructors place course readings, books, old exams, solutions manuals, etc. on reserve to guarantee their availability to students. There are two categories of library course reserve materials:

Electronic Reserves

Electronic Reserves (E-Reserves or E-Res) are course materials that have been placed on the web so that students can use them at any time. Items that are typically placed on E-Reserve are: journal articles, chapters from books, tests.

On-Site Reserves

Materials owned by the libraries or personal copies provided by KU instructors may be placed on reserve in one of the KU Libraries where the items will be available for checkout. On-Site reserve items typically include complete books, videos, and other relevant material to support classroom instruction. On-Site reserve materials have shortened loan periods ranging from two hours to two weeks.

Other Possibilities

KU faculty and instructors may choose to provide access to some or all of their course materials through Blackboard. Consult your instructor if you have questions.
