About Library Reserves

Library Reserve materials have different circulation periods, some of which can only be used within the library.
At the semester’s end, all course items will be taken off reserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it taking so long to download?
PDF files can be rather large. Depending on your internet connection, it could take ten minutes or longer to display. Once downloading is complete Acrobat Reader should automatically open with a copyright notice. Use the arrow keys to navigate through the document.
If you do not have Adobe Reader already installed on your computer, you may download it for free on the Adobe website.
Why don’t I see my course listed?
Electronic Course Reserves are for the use of enrolled students during a specific semester. Not all course materials are available through the Electronic Course Reserve system. If you do not see your course listed, it may be the result of one of three things:
- HSL Reserves did not receive any Electronic Reserves from your course/instructor for this semester
- HSL Reserves received Electronic Reserves from your course/instructor for this semester, but we are still in the process of making them available
- Course Electronic Reserves have been received and processed but have been posted on some external site, such as Sakai or the course’s own site
