Course Resource Lists

This guide provides instructors with step-by-step instructions for using the libraries' course reserves platform.

How to Request an Addition to Your Course Resource List

If you choose to upload a list of citations, the library will create a list for you. Once your list has been created there are a few ways you can request additional resources:

  • Email reserves@tc.columbia.edu with a citation for your requested resource (the more information you can provide us, the easier it will be for the library to locate the item) and your course number, section and term
  • Utilize the Discuss with Library feature in your Course Resource List to send the library a message requesting your additional resource
  • You can use the Cite it! tool, or the Manual Entry and ISBN options, to add a new citation to your list

The library will try to acquire your requested resource and fulfill your request as quickly as possible. If you need your item by a particular date, you can note this using any of the three requesting options above and the library will do its best to accommodate your request. 

You can request additional course reserves resources at any time throughout the term.
