Reserves

There are two types of reserves: electronic and hard copy.

Electronic reserves are password protected and accessible online via your enrolled Blackboard course. Blackboard is available through your Google Apps login.
Hard copy reserves: The Reserve desk houses personal hard copies of items as well as materials which are in high demand and/or short supply, and which have been designated by the instructor to be available for check out for limited periods of time (typically 2-72 hours). For information on how to put an item on reserve, see Placing Material on Reserve.
To search for Reserves held at the Rasmuson Library Circulation desk:

Go to the Library Catalog
Change the Collections drop down to Course Reserves; select an option from the second drop down (e.g., Course Name, Course ID, Instructor Name); type in your terms; and click Search.
