Course Reserves are supplemental class materials reserved by instructors for student use outside the classroom. You must be an active MSU student, staff, or faculty member to access course reserves. For assistance, contact Access and Information's Course Reserves staff at reserves@library.msstate.edu or (662) 325-8706.
Electronic Reserves
- Electronic course reserves (or "e-reserves") include syllabi, instructor-authored work, PowerPoint slides, student sample work, example tests, class notes, book chapters, and journal articles. They are password-protected to restrict access to MSU faculty, staff, and students.
Print/Traditional Reserves
- Print and traditional course reserves include books, objects, sample student projects, movies, or CDs. The course reserves desk, located at Access and Information, is available during Mitchell Memorial Library hours.
- Items may be placed on Closed Reserve (may be checked out for 2 hours and used in the library only), 2-Day Reserve, or 24-Hour Reserve.
- When you have identified the item you need, bring the item's title or call number to Access and Information to check it out.
