SU Libraries Course Reserves

Messages from Library Staff

Welcome to SU Libraries' Course Reserves System! Students, check here to see if your materials are available at our library service desk for short-term (2-3 hours) In-Library-Use. Search by Course, Professor, or Title/Author.


Faculty: You can request library books and DVDs to be placed on reserve by clicking the "Request Item" button. If you would like to request that a NEW book/DVD be purchased by the library to put on reserve for one of your courses, please contact your department's library liaison as soon as possible to begin the process! If our system is not showing prior reserves that you expected to find, they may have expired, and can easily be reactivated. Log in to manage your account, or email Abigail Horton at aehorton@salisbury.edu.

Several items from our course reserves textbook collection were scanned during the pandemic closure, and remain available for 2-hour digital checkout. To see if an item is available to check out digitally, look up your item and look for a "Check out digital copy" link to the right. Also, check MyClasses for other readings your professors have made available, as well as links to streaming media. If you have questions, please see our Faculty FAQ, Student FAQ, or contact us.
