Course Reserve Information for Faculty
General Guidelines:
Putting relevant books, articles, and media on Course Reserve ensures that the material is available to all students enrolled in your course. You may place materials on reserve in the library using the Course Reserve Form below.
Both personally owned materials and those owned by the Thurgood Marshall Library can be placed on Course Reserve.
If Thurgood Marshall Library does not currently own the item you would like to place on reserve, you can request that it be purchased using the Faculty Request Form below.
Please submit your requests as early as possible to ensure timely access to course materials.

- The library holds items for two (2) regular semesters. We will notify you upon removal. If you wish for the material to remain on reserve, you will be required to fill out the Course Reserve Form.
