Course Reserves

Students

Instructors will periodically place course materials on reserve. These materials are located behind the Circulation desk in Shafer Library and must be checked out. Because of their short loan period (typically 2 hours), most items cannot leave the library. To see what is on reserve for your class, click on the Course Reserves link at the top of the page in the UF/Winebrenner Library catalog (OPAL). When typing your instructor's name, use last name only.

Faculty

To place materials on reserve, complete the Faculty Reserve Request Form. If you are placing a personal copy or item on reserve, you must bring it to the Library. Materials owned by Shafer Library will be pulled and placed on reserve for you.

  • A separate form must be used for each course
  • Up to 10 items can be added to a form
  • Items may be reserved for 2 hours, overnight, 3 days, or 1 week
  • Allow at least 3 business days for materials to be placed on reserve

Reserve items are searchable by instructor and course in the UF/Winebrenner Library Catalog (OPAL) by clicking on Course Reserves at the top of the page.
