Course Reserves

The library has acquired a supplement interface to the Discover@MU search. This new site is where the course reserves will now be hosted. Click on the "Search for Physical Reserves for Courses" in the box above for a direct link. You should be able to search for your course by searching the course name, the course number, or the instructor's name assigned to the course. Please note that you will need to click the course name, course number, or items to view the items on reserve. Clicking on department will show which courses are on reserve under that department. Clicking on instructor will show all the courses that instructor has on reserve.  

Please contact your respective library's reserves if you are having trouble finding your print reserves.

What is Course Reserves?

• Course Reserves is a service that allows instructors to make books, articles, and other course materials available to their students through Print/Physical Reserve and E-Reserves.
  • Print/Physical Reserve: physical books, DVDs, etc. pulled from the library's collection for a specific course. These items are given a limited checkout period to increase access to students.
  • E-Reserves: an online application that makes electronic books, articles, etc. accessible to students through a centralized course page.

Where Can I Find Course Reserves Items?

• Print Reserve materials check out at the Circulation Desk at Ellis Library and each of the branch libraries.
• E-Reserve materials are available through the library website by searching the E-Reserves Course List or under the Library Resources Tool in Canvas.
• Please visit our Student Guide or Faculty Guide for a detailed guide on using Course Reserves.
