Course Reserves
The primary purpose of the Libraries' reserve service is to provide the teaching faculty with the ability to expand the classroom learning experience by using non-textbook materials (articles, study guides, reference books, WebPages, etc.). More info here.
Access Course Reserves
- Search the Course Reserves catalog by Course Name = DEPARTMENT COURSE# INSTRUCTOR (e.g. English 102 Smith)
- Not every reserve item is online. You may find your instructor placed print materials in our reserve collections.
- Not able to find what you are looking for? Instructors may also use Online@UT to place online materials for your courses' reserve collections. If you cannot find what you are looking for through our Course Reserves, you might try Online@UT to see if what you are looking for is there.
Library Books and instructors' Personal Copies on Hodges Reserves can be obtained from the 2nd Floor Circulation Desk in the Hodges Library.
Online Reserves are available through the Course Reserves Catalog.
