uReserves System (Leganto)
The library’s uReserves System is integrated into our Library System. uReserves works directly with Blackboard/Canvas to display course reserves for students. This system also allows faculty to create, review and update their reading list for classes directly. The reading lists are then submitted in the system to the library for processing.
To work with this system, log into uReserves.
