Course Reserves Services

The library works with instructors to provide students with equitable and free access to course-related materials online and at the library.

Students

Access course reserves through your D2L course site. Log in with your BlueKey username and password.

Most course reserves materials, like e-books, articles, and videos, are available online. Click View online or Watch to access them.

Books and physical materials on course reserves are available at the Access Services desk in the John T. Richardson or Loop Libraries. Bring the call number to the desk to check out materials. You can borrow books and physical materials on course reserves for 2 hours.

Instructors

The library has migrated to a new course reserves system! The Leganto course reserves system provides an intuitive user interface and new workflows. You can access course reserves 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.

* If you do not have the Course Reserves option, email 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, so make sure to add the course reserves module to D2L.
