For Faculty
Ares Course Reserves
Ares Course Reserves allows instructors to place materials on reserve for a course, both in print or electronically, that is then available to students enrolled in a course. This can even be integrated with D2L. We have created a How to Get Started Using Ares Course Reserves Guide to assist faculty in adding citations to the Ares course reserves system.
Material that is immediately accessible (i.e., owned by DePaul and not checked out) is usually available to students in 3 business days. If we need to order the material or recall it from a patron, it could take 2 weeks or more.
Please be aware that there is a severe bottleneck of requests in the first week of classes, so first-week requests should be submitted by these deadlines:
| Term |
