Mortensen Course Reserves

The Mortensen Library maintains a Course Reserves collection for University courses. Materials include books, DVDs, CDs, and videocassettes that are part of our regular collection, as well as materials owned by the instructor of the course (Personal Copies).

COURSE RESERVES LIST

Submit Hardcopy Reserves

  • Faculty should bring materials to the Mortensen Library Circulation Department in advance of the needed date. Materials are processed in the order they are received.
  • Fill out the Reserve Materials Processing Form by downloading or at the Circulation/Reserve Desk and specify the semesters in which the course will be taught.
  • Two-hour, in-library use is recommended for most Reserves. Please announce in class that students must present their University ID card to check out Reserve materials.
  • All materials are taken off reserve at the end of each semester, unless use in the following semester has been specified. Carry-over from Fall to Spring is allowed.
  • No hard copies will be retained on permanent Reserve.
  • At the end of the semester, personal copies are returned to faculty via campus mail. Faculty will be called to pick up their materials if the documents are too large.

If you have further questions, contact Kiernan Dudgeon (860.768.4965).
