Course Reserves are materials and resources that have been set aside at the Steely Library by a faculty member to be used for a class; they can be either print or electronic.

Library instruction for students enhances their understanding of Steely resources and services and develops the information skills necessary for academic and career success. We partner with faculty in a variety of ways to reach students online or on campus, including classroom instruction, the development of online materials, or one-on-one research support.
