When should I create and submit my reading list? How long will it take for my requests to be processed?
Our average turnaround time for reserves processing is 1-3 business days from when the request is submitted. However, processing could be delayed for a variety of reasons, such as having to purchase or recall an item, staffing shortages, or a high volume of requests.
We recommend submitting your reading list to us at least a week before you need any reserve items to get ahead of potential delays.
Why should I use course reserves rather than link items in my Canvas modules?
Because course reserves allows you to add library materials as well as freely available web content, your reading list can be the place where all your course materials live. Students will only need to visit one place to access all the materials they need.
Additionally, using course reserves means that the library has a second set of eyes on your course materials and can address any access or copyright issues for you.
How can I view my reading list as a student?
Click the three dots at the top of the screen and click "View list as student."
Do NOT use Canvas student view - it does not work with the reserves interface. You will get an error message.
