Instructors
Access the Leganto course reserves system through your
D2L course site.
- Select
Edit Course from the D2L course navigation bar.
- Select
Course Reserves from the drop down menu.*
- Your course reserves list(s) will open in a new window.
Follow the Course Reserves Guide to learn how to prepare your course reserves. You can create lists of both library 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, so make sure to
add the course reserves module to D2L.
Processing Times
We process course reserves lists in the order they are received. Publish your course reserves list 4 weeks before the start of the quarter to ensure materials are available on the first day of class. Processing times for materials vary:
- Online articles, e-books, and streaming videos we own/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 media, recall items from patrons, or provide digitization, it could take 2 - 4 weeks to make the material available.
