Course Reserves

Saint Mary's Library is here for faculty and students to access course materials.

Course Reserves

Find no-cost course materials your instructor placed on reserve through the Library!

Electronic Reserves

(e-books, chapters, articles)

Physical Reserves

(books, DVDs)

Electronic reserves can be accessed online from anywhere.

 

Find yours by selecting your course code in the left column.

 

Electronic reserves require a password to access. Contact the Library or your professor for this password.

Physical reserves are available to borrow for a short-term loan at the Library Service Desk. 

 

Does the Library have your course reserve?

Search the Library collection for a specific title or course code (Example: For Writing 101 textbooks, search WRIT-101).

To borrow the material, bring the call number and your SMC ID card to the first floor Library Service Desk.

 

Still cannot find the course material you need?

We encourage students to:

  • Suggest a purchase for the SMC Library. Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee a purchase.

Or:

  • Submit an interlibrary loan request from another library. You may request a physical book or digital scans of specific chapters.                                            

Questions? Contact the Library during open hours.
