Salisbury University faculty may submit materials to be placed on course reserve for the current or upcoming semester. We encourage faculty to act well in advance of the semester to request library materials to place on reserve. Faculty can request items be put on Course Reserves through the Library Support Center. You can place items on reserve that are from the Libraries' collections or that are personal items provided by you. If you need assistance determining whether an item should be placed on reserve, please submit a General Library Support request and we will be happy to provide guidance.

If you would like to suggest that the library purchase an item to be placed on Course Reserves, please contact your department's Library Liaison.
Physical copies are housed on the "reserve shelves" behind the Library Services Desk. These items are usually used in-library only and cannot be taken outside the library. Materials can include library-owned books/DVDs for students to share for the semester, as well as personal copies of resources which faculty bring in for students to use. Please consider placing an extra copy of a course textbook on reserve.
You may also share electronic articles or book chapters online on your course's Canvas/MyClasses page. For copyright management assistance, please submit a General Library Support request and we will be happy to provide guidance.
Upon receiving a request, Access Services staff will begin to process the order and seek copyright permissions, if needed. Complete bibliographic information for any request will facilitate the process and ensure that staff is seeking permissions for the correct item. Any incomplete fields on the request forms might delay processing.
Please reach out to your librarian liaison for assistance in finding Online Educational Resources and Open Access materials. Library staff may be able to assist you in scanning a limited amount of material to make available online for your students.
