Course Reserves for Instructors
Placing materials on reserve helps USU students succeed by providing alternative access to course materials that may be supplemental, specialized, or simply expensive or difficult for students to obtain at the start of the semester.
Placing Materials on Reserve
Course materials should be delivered to the Course Reserves and Media Desk in Library 158 for processing, along with a completed Placing Materials on Course Reserve Form. If you have any questions, please contact Brook Harris at brook.harris@usu.edu.
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.
Emailing/Mailing Course Reserves
If you are unable to come into Course Reserves, you can also email the list of library materials to be placed on reserve, or 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 complete and return the Removing materials on Course Reserve Form.
