2. Enter your search terms

You can search for a course reserve a couple of ways:

  • Instructor name - ex. Smith -- Enter the instructor's last name only
  • title, topic or keyword - ex. "Global health" -- note this search may lead you to course reserves outside of your course list
  • course number - ex. NRSG-2701 -- note it must be in this exact format with the hyphen and no spaces

 

3. You will receive a list of results the same as a regular search. You can explore the results by clicking on the title to get more information, or PIN them to save them for later. 

Reserves can be in print format -- you will need to come to the Service Desk in the library to borrow these materials. They will have a shortened loan period - usually 2 or 24 hours and fines if they are returned late.

Reserves can also be in digital format - these reserves may be links to articles in the Library's databases or other web-based sources such as open access journals or websites.
