The library catalogs and makes these items accessible to students and faculty, usually for a particular class. Electronic reserves are very similar to print library reserves, but are often more convenient.  WU Libraries obtains and pays for apporpriate copyright permissions as applicable.

If you would like to place anything on Reserve at Mabee Library, in paper OR electronic form, please contact Andrea Leon [x1488].

To place items on Reserve at the CRC, please contact Paula Inman [X1436].
