Course Readings

Faculty: Put items on reserve as course readings

Put physical or electronic items on reserve in the library for students with our Course Readings Collection. Our Reading List Service lets you create customized reading lists.

How it works

Make books and other physical materials available for short-term loan (2 hours, 1 day, or 3 days) by adding them as course readings. We can also create a customized reading list for your course and make it available to your students.

Digitize readings

If needed, we can digitize (scan) portions of physical items (e.g. a book chapter, test solution, notes) for course readings, subject to TRU Fair Dealing guidelines.
