Syracuse University Libraries is currently accepting course reserve requests from faculty for the Spring 2025 semester. Requests should be submitted by Friday, Jan. 10, 2025 through the Libraries’ Course Reserve system to ensure that items are available to students for the first day of the spring semester.
Requests received after Jan. 10 will be processed in the order they were received and are not guaranteed to be available by the first week of classes. Reserve requests can include library materials, items to be purchased or faculty’s personal copies. Course reserves are an excellent way to provide students with affordable and accessible course materials.
For course reserve requests that require the Libraries to purchase a new item not currently in the collection, the Libraries will purchase the eBook version when available. This allows more students to use course material at the same time and provides students with easier access.
Faculty requesting a print copy in course reserves should indicate that in the notes section of the course reserve form. The Libraries may require four to six weeks to purchase and receive new physical items. All physical course reserve items will only be available at Bird Library. Please note that the Libraries does not offer course reserves for electronic articles from professional journals.
Personal copies of materials on course reserve for student access should also be submitted through the Libraries’ course reserve system. For faculty requesting that personal copies be picked up from faculty department offices, email reserves@syr.edu with faculty name, course number and number of items/books to be picked up in the email.
As you compile the resources you will be putting on reserve this coming semester, please remember that these resources may need to be in a format that is accessible for students who need to use screen readers or text-to-speech software to access these resources. If you need an accessible file, please indicate that in the notes section on the course reserve form or email reserve@syr.edu.
