Course reserves are materials for your classes, like textbooks, DVDs, and CDs, to which the Library provides access. These materials can be either:
Electronic: Articles, book chapters, and media are accessible online via your course's Moodle page.
Physical/Print: Books and media are available at the Frost, Music, or Science Libraries.
Students don’t have to be registered for a class to borrow its print reserves, so this can be helpful during the add/drop period or if you are waiting to get books through the textbook solution.
Five College students can check out print reserves, but please return items to the Amherst location.
If your professor assigns a book as “required” for your class through the new textbook solution, one copy will be available on print reserve. Some faculty members request additional (recommended but not required) materials for course reserves.
