The library’s uReserves System is integrated into our Library System.  uReserves works directly with Blackboard 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.  Here is our getting started guide, Instructor’s Guide to uReserves .  For additional information or assistance, contact Course Reserves.
