Course Reserves for Students

Professors usually indicate if materials are available via course reserves in the syllabus. Not all instructors utilize the course reserves, and please check your syllabus for each class.

At this time, our system does not allow us to search the reserves by course or professor, only by title or information about the book. If you do not know the title of the book, you can look up your textbooks by course through the Drexel Online Bookstore.

Once you have the title of the item, you can search for it through DragonSearch, the Libraries' online search tool.

For questions or more information about course reserves, email reserve@drexel.edu.

Borrow Physical Reserve Items

If your professor has placed a physical item on reserve, you may borrow that item by visiting the Service Desk at the W. W. Hagerty Library. Here are a few things you can do to make the process easier:

• Check with your instructor to find out where the physical book is located (online or in the Library).
• Prepare any information you might need before visiting the W. W. Hagerty Library (ie: course number, student ID).
• Manage your time wisely. In most cases, a physical item can only be checked out for 3 hours or overnight.
