The Reserves collection contains material designated by university faculty as high-use or required readings for specific courses. Items on reserve for a course may include books, and special items loaned by faculty. A number of high-use items unrelated to specific courses are also located on reserve.

This purpose of this guide is to

• Provide eligible borrowers with information regarding Reserves policies & procedures.
• Provide faculty with the procedures for submitting items for Reserves.

Items on reserve are listed in the URI Libraries Search.

Items listed in the catalog can be searched by course name or number or by instructor. 

To access print materials on Reserve, use the Course Reserves link on the University Libraries home page.
