Course Reserves & Resource Lists

Faculty can request items to be placed on reserves that are currently a part of the library's collection, your personal collection, or as purchases for the library's collection. To place library items on course reserves, please use one of these options:

• Create an online course list through resourcelists.library.wheaton.edu. 
  • Resource Lists is not only a tool for course reserves, but it is an online reading list system inside the Canvas LMS that supports a wide range of resources, including traditional print and online course readings (books, book chapters, articles) as well as videos, podcasts, websites, and more. For more information on how to use Resource Lists, please visit guides.library.wheaton.edu/resourcelists
• Bring the desired item(s) to the Circulation Desk at least 3 days before they need to be on reserve. Complete the paper form designating the course code, name, and time period for reserve access.

To place items from your personal collection on reserve, please use the paper form at the Circulation Desk in the Library (Main). If the item you want to place on reserve needs to be purchased, please coordinate with the appropriate subject librarian.
