eReserves and Reserves

basic informaiton about the eReserves and reserves process at Grinnell College Libraries

Welcome to Course Reserves at Grinnell College

Course reserves are materials (books, AV, journal articles, electronic resources, open source or OER content, and other non-book items) chosen by faculty to support their instruction. 

  • Physical materials are placed on Reserve and are available for checkout at Burling Library
  • Digital materials are linked through Course Reserves on the faculty's Canvas course page
  • All reserves are removed at the end of the semester

Burling Library faculty and staff work directly with Academic Assistants to support and process requested course reserves. Academic Assistants receive submission information from faculty and submit eReserve and Physical Reserve requests to the library through the ARES system. Library staff process the requests in the order they are recieved and/or date needed.
