One simple way you can help your students succeed in your courses is by placing personal or library copies of required and recommended texts on Reserve at the Library Services Desk. Some of the reasons for placing items on Reserve include:

• To provide your students access to titles no longer in print or difficult to find
• To ensure that no single student monopolizes the Library's only copy
• To ensure access to required information throughout the semester
