A completed course reserve form must be submitted before submitting your materials. Both of these must be received before your request can be processed.

All reserved material will be removed from the library server at the end of the semester.

 

Best Practices for Scanning Materials

The University of Delaware requires digital content to comply with accessibility standards. To assist the Library in complying with accessibility standards, the following are best practices when preparing and submitting materials for reserve. 

For the best results scanning documents:

  1. Confirm that the photocopier or scanner surface is relatively clean in order to minimize stray marks from appearing on the copy or scan.
  2. Confirm that you have a fairly legible original from which to photocopy or scan and that the photocopy or scan produced is fairly legible.
  3. Avoid writing on or highlighting the document or crossing sections out, if possible.

Bringing in Physical Material

Please bring any physical book, media or other items to the Help Center so they can be put on course reserve. Note: notify lib-reserve@udel.edu with your name and details about your items for reserve, prior to bringing them to the library.

All course reserve items will be removed at the end of the designated semester. Personal items should be picked up at the end of the term or they will be mailed to your campus address.
