What are Course Reserves?

The library works with Adler instructors to provide equitable and free access to required courses texts online and at the library. Each semester, instructors provide the library with the list of books required for their courses and the library purchases electronic or physical copies of the texts to make available. 

Providing library-licensed, library purchased, or open access materials ensures equitable access to educational materials and eases students’ financial burdens. 

Course reserves materials can be found in the online catalog. Print materials can be checked out in-person at the library.
