Course reserves are library resources that are specially requested and processed in a way that makes them more available to students during the semester. Usually, these resources are required or supplementary materials for specific CIA degree-program courses.
Course reserves can be physical items like print books or DVD/Blu Rays or digital items, such as eBooks and online articles.
See CIA course reserves on the CIA Library Catalog. Print reserves are not listed on the eReserves guide. The catalog will tell you what's currently on the reserves shelves. You can also ask us what's on reserve. We'll pull them and check them out to you if you need to use them.
When you check out an item, it will have one of three options for how long you can check it out (we'll let you know and there's a sticker on the item as a reminder):
| 3-HR IN-LIBRARY | You can check these items out for 3 hours at a time. You must return them to the desk after 3 hours or 15 minutes before close, whichever comes first. No renewals. |
| OVERNIGHT | You can check out these items for 24 hours. No renewals. |
| ONE WEEK | Check out these items for 7 days. You need to return these items at the end of the 7th day. No renewals. |
Digital reserves are provided via Canvas and are also viewable on LibGuides. You can find eBooks on reserve in the library catalog, but other resources such as full-text articles may only be visible in a course on Canvas and LibGuides.
Links can be accessed on and off campus. However, off-campus access requires logging into the proxy server via Microsoft authentication (same as when you log into your email).
Digital reserves have their usual loan periods and no changes to their usual borrowing. eReserves acts as a repository for direct links to digital resources that faculty are using in class.
On eReserves, you'll see courses on the left. Click each one to go to that course's digital reserves offerings. If your course isn't listed, check "eReserves by Course Subject". Scroll through to find the course subject heading for your class and see if we've listed the class material you're looking for.
