How can I place items on reserve for my class?

Answer

Faculty can use Ares through Blackboard to place items on reserve for their classes. The link to reserves should be available on your course shell by default or you can add it by following the directions on this page. For more information, please see the Library's Faculty Guide to Course Reserves. If you have questions, feel free to contact reserves-group@umbc.edu.

Please see the DoIT Blackboard Help page for more information on using Blackboard. For more information on the Library's copyright policy for reserves, please review our Copyright Guidelines.

To speed up processing, we recommend providing us with the permalink to the item you need in the library’s catalog (if available) in the Notes field of the reserves request form. You can find the permalink on the item record page, as shown in the screenshot below.
