Placing materials on reserve helps USU students succeed by providing alternative access to course materials that may be supplemental, expensive or difficult to obtain, or in high demand.

Placing Materials on Reserve

To place materials on reserve, please complete the Course Reserves Request form. Items from the Library's collections will be pulled and placed on reserve in order of request. Personal items you wish to place on reserve can be delivered to the Course Reserves Desk on the Second Floor, Northwest for processing. If you have any questions, please contact us at coursereserves@usu.edu.

The library will process materials in order of receipt. If received by the end of fall semester, reserve materials will be available to students when spring semester commences. For materials submitted thereafter, please allow up to 2 weeks for availability.

Books

Books placed on reserve will appear as citations with instructions for checkout at the Merrill-Cazier Library Media Collections Desk. Up to 3 hard copies of books can be placed on reserve.

Mailing Course Reserves

If you are unable to come into Course Reserves, you can also mail your personal copies to the following address:

Brook Harris
3100 Old Main Hill
Logan, UT 84322

Retention and Copyright Policies

If we do not hear from you by the last day of the semester in which your item(s) expire, we will return the hard copies of your Reserve materials to your department office. To request an item to be removed, please contact us at coursereserves@usu.edu.
