Course Reserves are course-related materials made available, either electronically or physically, through the FSU Libraries. Course materials may be put on reserve at one of the libraries or made available on Canvas at the instructor’s request. Reserve items may be checked out at a library service desk for short-term use in the library.
In order to support student success and equitable access to information, FSU Libraries identifies titles currently available as eBooks and assigned as textbooks and course materials.
Location of Reserve Items
All physical reserves, such as textbooks, DVDs, microfilm, and more are located behind the circulation desk at their respective libraries.
Electronic Reserves or "e-reserves", such as digital copies of journal articles, scanned portions of monographs, and films for streaming are uploaded to the course's Canvas page in a folder tiled "e-reserves."
Loan Periods and Late Fees
Any physical item on Reserve at the library must be used in the library.
