Course reserves - For instructors

Instructors: Place an item on Reserve

How it works:

We automatically check the textbook lists in Python prior to each quarter for course titles to put on Reserve.

  • If we own the appropriate year/edition, we automatically pull our copies and put them on Reserve.
     
  • If we don't own the correct one we will attend attempt to purchase them, but there is no guarantee we will get them in time for the beginning of the quarter.
    You can Suggest a Purchase.
     
  • If you have copies that you are willing to lend us, we will be happy to put them on Reserve for your students.

We may have some electronic copies so be sure to check the Library Search. You can provide your students with the permalink so that they are prompted for their NPS credentials for access.

To place an item on Reserve, contact us: circdesk@nps.edu

You can place instructor-owned materials on reserve

  • Place unbound items (articles, book chapters, etc.) in a folder.
  • Change the margin settings on your copier to minimize the black in margin areas where there is no text.
  • Divide large amounts of material into separate folders instead of placing all the materials into one folder.
  • Please read the Copyright Notice
