Course Reserves
Reserves are supplemental readings and materials that professors assign to their classes. Since multiple people usually need access to one item, the library restricts the length of time you can borrow print materials. Course Reserves, online and print, are managed at the Information Desk at the entrance to the library and can be searched in the catalog.

What is an E-reserve? These are supplemental library materials that professors suggest you read for class, such as journal articles and chapters of books. You can print these if you choose to.
Access: If you are not logged into your KU account you may need to log in first. If you have questions please ask at the Information Desk, call 610-683-4480, or use chat.
Print Reserves
Where: You need to ask for an item from the Reserve Collection at the Information Desk of the library. It is helpful if you know your professor's name, and the course number. You also need your KU ID, or photo ID, to check out the material.
Content: The library does not automatically purchase textbooks used for courses. Professors will often put a copy of their textbook on reserve for you to use in the library. You can ask at the Information Desk to see if your textbook is on reserve.
Loan Periods: Most materials are In-Library Use Only. A professor will sometimes ask for longer loan periods that allow you to take the item with you for Overnight; 3-Days; or 7-Days.
