Reading Lists & Reserves

Reading Lists

Reading lists and Reserves is a library service that works with instructors to make course readings and other assigned materials accessible directly for you and your students in UR Courses. This service includes placing physical items on reserve for short term loan at the Archer library as well as online access to ebooks, book chapters, articles, streaming film/video, websites, digitized materials (where permitted by copyright) and more.

Steps For Instructors:

If you are interested in using this service, library staff will assist you with building your online reading list.  This service includes copyright clearance, material requests, and scanning/digitizing material (where permitted).  

Reading Lists and Reserves requires advance submission of all course lists for each upcoming term in order to purchase new materials, process existing materials and ensure your lists are accessible in URCourses for the start of term:

  • June 1 for the Fall term
  • October 1 for the Winter term
  • March 1 for the Spring/Summer term

Requests received after the above dates will be considered but there is no guarantee items will be available before the start of each term.

All reading lists are completed on a first come first served basis.

To get started:   

  1. Add a new reading list to URCourses
  2. Once you've created your reading list, you can either:
