Course reserve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Course reserve is a term used in academic libraries to describe materials set aside for a specific academic course or other use.[1] Most often materials are put on course reserve by library staff at the request of the course's instructor.[2] Materials on reserve typically have shorter loan periods than other library materials to allow access to a high volume of library patrons - for example, the students taking the course in question. Reserve materials usually return to normal circulation at the end of the term.
E-reserves
Many academic libraries are installing software and supporting availability of course readings in digital formats through a service referred to as "electronic course reserves" or "e-reserves."[3] The service provides controlled access to materials in a digital format but limited to students in a specific course. Such services are often connected to other classroom services for collaboration and course management.
