How do I make a purchase request for my course?

If the library does not own a copy of an item you want to place on reserve, you can manually add your request to your reading list and the library will purchase a copy for reserve. We will pursue digital resources whenever possible.

1. Select add items button (plus icon) and Create tab.

2. Manually enter as much information about the item as you can. At a minimum you must enter a title.

3. Add

4. The item will be added to your reading list.

5. Send your list to the library. Library staff will receive your request, purchase the item and update the reading list with a link to the digital reading once it is available.  

6. You may also email the Library Reserves staff in your local library for assistance with a reserves purchase request.

 

NEXT STEPS: When you are finished updating your list you must send it to the library so library staff can process your request. Lastly, you will need to publish the list so it is viewable to students in your course.
