Accessing Course Reserves

Physical books, DVDs, and other materials on reserve for a course can be found at the Library Service Desk in the Guerrieri Academic Commons. Please let the staff working at the desk know the Course Reserves location for the item, and they will retrieve it for you.

Finding an Item's Course Reserves Location

You can find the Course Reserves location for an item by searching for it in SURF. In the search box on the library homepage, select the "Course Reserves" tab then search by the item title or instructor name. You can also .

The location will be listed on the item and will appear in one of the following formats:

• [Instructor Name] #[Number] – for example, Smith #5
• [Collection Name] #[Number] – for example, Film Studies #10

If you don't see the course reserves location here, click the search result and scroll down to the "Get It" section to find it. Note that the instructor name on the location may not be your instructor's name, since some items are used by multiple instructors.
