For Faculty: Reserve Material

Books on Reserve

About E-textbooks

Due to digital rights management (DRM) licensing by publishers, the library cannot make e-textbooks from Pearson, Cengage, Houghton, McGraw Hill, Elsevier available on reserve, as these are sold as single user access to the student. They are not available for unlimited access to all students in the class.

Putting Material on Reserve at the Library for Students
