Textbooks and Reserve Materials
Reserve Textbook Collection - Course Reserves
The Cañada Library's Course Reserves is a collection of textbooks and other physical materials available for students to borrow for short-term loans at the Circulation desk, with the purpose of giving all students equitable access to these materials. Loan periods vary from 12-hour (end-of day) and 1 week, depending on availability and number of copies of a title. The library has one high-speed book scanner and two flat-bed scanners for students to scan to email or USB thumb drive the readings they need.
For additional information on Course Reserves, please refer to our our reserve textbook checkout policy.
