College Library Reserves Collection

The College Library Reserves Collection contains books, course readers, and media items including VHS videos and DVDs assigned by instructors as required or supplementary resources for their courses.

Print & Multimedia Reserves

The Reserves Collection is conveniently located in the first floor center area, just across from the entrance to the library. Collection is accessible all hours the library is open.

To view a list of titles on reserve for a course, select the Course Reserve tab in MadCat and search by instructor, department, or course or any combination of these. Materials on reserve can be checked out for the loan period selected by the course instructor. The Reserve area of the library has video and DVD stations for viewing reserves items that cannot leave the library.

Electronic Reserves

The Electronic Reserves Collection (E-Reserves) provides access to scanned syllabi, chapters of books, articles, exams, and lecture notes. Registered students and course instructors can view E-Reserves for Timetable courses via MyUW.
