THE LIBRARY offers many resources as
instructors prepare for Fall Courses. One of these is course reserve for books,
films, or course packets. See below for more information.
Course reserve is available on-site or online. Both appear in the Library Course Page and can be integrated with Moodle, making course materials easy for students to find and access.
On-site reserve
consists of books, films, or course packets shelved at any Twin Cities
campus library. To submit an on-site reserve request, email a list
of items you’d like placed on reserve to the contact for the campus
library you’d like as your reserve site. Contacts for reserve sites can
be found here:
Online reserve
can include a variety of materials--excerpts from books, direct links
to articles from e-journals, video clips, slides from class lectures, fair use materials, materials that cost a copyright fee, and more. The reserve system is compatible with mobile devices.
To request an online reserve page, email your reading list or syllabus to wilsrsv@umn.edu.
If your request may include items that cost a copyright fee, please be
sure to submit your request at least 4 weeks before the semester begins
to allow time for processing.
OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
Are
you interested in considering non-commercial course texts or readings?
If so, there are many excellent resources in many different
fields/disciplines. If you'd want to explore some of the options, just
let me know! I'd be happy to help pull together some options for you -
these free materials save students significant amounts in their college
costs!
