We know you probably have some questions about these changes. Here are some responses to common queries about the latest changes.
Our teams plan to make the platform available after July 15th. Summer courses will continue to use the form-based system that we have been employing as a stop gap system this past year. A formal announcement will go out to faculty when a concrete “go-live” date has been set.
Anyone listed as an instructor for a course will have access to the new system through Web Campus. We are working on instructions to guide you through the process of ensuring that the system is active for your course, so stay tuned!
Yes! We will be offering training. Instructions will also be added to this page as they are drafted. Keep an eye on your email for information about these resources as they become available.
Yes! Our teams are migrating reading lists for courses that have used our systems from 2021 to 2025. This includes over 40,000 reading list items, from streaming media and ebooks, to scanned items and physical materials.
You can submit your requests to the reserves team using these forms. Do not use these forms for Fall 2025 courses.
Course materials may be placed on reserve using the request forms.
Looking to use a eReserves item in your course, but can't remember the title? Let us help you jog your memory with lists of previously used reserves.
Supplemental course readings like journal articles and book chapters (requested through E-reserves) and direct links to library-licensed content can be put on electronic reserve.
Books (both personal and library-owned copies), DVDs, CDs, journal articles, sample tests, notes, etc. can all be placed on hard copy reserve.
Streaming video access/licensing can be complex and time-consuming. Most licenses are only a single year, so license dates must also be checked before use. Please view the basics of our streaming process here.
Items, electronic and print, will automatically be taken off reserve and faculty-owned items returned to the instructor at the end of each semester, unless otherwise specified.
The Libraries cannot scan and post materials beyond fair use limits.
Reserve materials may be checked out by faculty, staff, or student with a current wolf card.
Available Checkout periods:
Overdue fines for reserve items are $5.00 per hour.
The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research. If electronic transmission of reserve material is used for purposes in excess of what constitutes "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
All items are taken down at the end of each semester.
