D2L course site.

Course Reserves from the drop down menu.*

ctl@depaul.edu to have it added or
log into Leganto directly.
Follow the Course Reserves Guide to learn how to prepare your course reserves. You can create lists of library resources and external resources and make them available to the students in your course with the course reserves system. Course reserves are accessed by students through your D2L course site. Learn how to
make them available through D2L.
Attend a training or drop-in Q&A hour to learn more about course reserves.
Deadlines
Processing times for materials vary. Online articles, e-books, and streaming videos we own or subscribe to will usually be available in 3 days or less; some are available immediately. Books we own, and e-books and streaming videos we have to buy will usually be available in 3 days. If we have to buy books or physical material or recall them from a patron, it could take 2 weeks or more.
Add items to your course reserves list by the following dates to ensure they are ready at the beginning of the quarter.
