Class Readings/Course Reserves

What are course reserves?

Course reserves are items that are:

• provided by your instructor
• listed in your course syllabus under Bibliography, Recommended Readings, and/or Supplemental Materials
• digital files or links available in your online course site
• physical items available to borrow in the Sherrod Library at the Ask Us desk on the first floor
• eBooks accessible through Sherrod Library

Typical course reserves may include books, articles, notes, practice exams, and DVDs.

How do I find course reserves in the library?

All course reserves (physical/electronic) available through Sherrod Library are discoverable on the course reserves page listed by course code/instructor.

Borrow

• Borrow course reserve items at the Ask Us desk on the first floor.
• Present your ETSU ID to the staff and tell them you want to borrow course reserves.
• Provide the name of the instructor or the course code and number (e.g., HIST 2010) and the call number or title of the item(s). Staff can help you locate items if you have course or instructor information.

Renew

Demand is high and most loan periods are short. You may be able to borrow an item again immediately if no one is waiting for it.

Return

Return course reserve items to the Ask Us desk before their loan period ends. If the library is closed, you can put them in the book return. They won't be counted as returned until the library checks them in.

Lost Items

If you fail to return a reserve item, you will be billed for its replacement ($45-$100 depending on the item).
