Instructors can request reserve materials by using the Library Course Reserves management system (Ares) in Blackboard.
The library is committed to providing equitable access to required course materials whenever possible. While physical shelve reserves are not currently available, we will work with faculty to digitize required readings when ebooks are not available for the course. Reserves staff will pull rush purchase materials which the library does not own. Materials from other schools cannot be put on reserve at AU.
If you would like to clone items from previous semesters, go to the current or upcoming semester's Blackboard or Canvas course page and click on the "Course Reserves" button. Select the "Import Items from Previous Semester" link in the left hand tool bar. You will see a list of courses you have previously taught. Click on the "Import Items" link next to the course you would like the readings from.
If you would like to clone items from one section to another in the same semester, please contact Library Reserves staff at reserves@american.edu.
