Reserves are library materials (including physical and electronic books, audio\/visual materials, journal articles, media, and electronic resources) selected by a faculty member to support course instruction.<\/span>\u00a0Instructors can place books, articles, and other materials on reserve for their students using the Place Items on Reserves form.<\/a> This form can be used for all library materials, both physical and electronic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Electronic Course Materials<\/h2>\n

Libraries staff will place electronic materials on reserve using BU Libraries\u00a0Course Materials.<\/a> Once created, these lists can be embedded in Blackboard or other Learning Management Systems, or instructors can simply share the Libraries-provided link with their classes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Print Course Materials<\/h2>\n

Physical materials on reserve are maintained and loaned through the Library Services Desk in Mugar Memorial Library or the circulation desk at Pardee Management Library. Access to these materials may be restricted to shorter loan times or in-library use only in order to accommodate use by all students enrolled in a course.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
