Course Reserves

Instructors may place books, articles, videos, recordings, and other materials on reserve for a course. To use course reserves, instructors need to set up a course and add materials.

Students need to sign in with their Bronco NetID, search for and add in their courses to access course reserves. Instructors and students sign in to the same system with their Bronco NetID username and Bronco NetID password.

Books and other physical materials will be located at the circulation desks of Waldo, Education or Music and Dance libraries. Articles and other short texts will be available electronically through this system.
