What are course reserves? Reserves are course-related materials made available, either electronically or physically, through the UC San Diego Library. Items that may be on reserve for a class include images, audio files, journal articles, videos, book chapters, course readers, etc.
Course Reserves are available for students to access in the Service Area of the Geisel Library building. To ensure that all students have access to the materials they need for their classes and eliminate late fees, Course Reserves are limited to in-person use in the Library.
How do I find course reserves? Log on to the course reserve system and select the class you want to view. Depending on the subject, course reserve materials may be checked out from the Geisel Front Desk, the Media Desk on the first floor of Geisel, or the Biomedical Library Building Front Desk.

Course Reserves are an excellent option to provide course content to students. Reserves help to alleviate the effect of ever-increasing textbook costs on students, foster student and faculty engagement, and create opportunities for library outreach.
Electronic course reserve (ECR) service allows students to access course reserve materials electronically from anywhere via the library catalog. Photocopies are scanned as PDF documents and made available via the library online catalog. We can also easily add electronic documents.
To access E-Reserves from Canvas (Recommended): Electronic reserve lists are now automatically added to all Canvas course pages (https://yu.instructure.com/) . Students can directly access the list without a password from the Canvas page. Click on “Library Resources and E-Reserves”.
The reserve and short loan collection contains high-use materials, which have been recommended by lecturers as part of the reading requirement for a particular course. Materials include online articles and book chapters (e-reserve); copies of high-demand books, and DVDs.
Access to the Electronic Reserves is available via the Find e-reserves & Recommended books link on the Library home page. This will take you to the Course Code Search screen.
