Welcome to Stony Brook University Libraries Reserves. Upon request and in accordance with applicable copyright restrictions, the Libraries provide both print and electronic access to certain course materials.
Course Reserves
Teaching assistants and faculty may place materials for supplemental readings on Course Reserves. Material will be housed at the appropriate library, at the request of the course instructor, and will be available at the respective service desks. This material is usually on loan for a short duration due to its high demand, and may not leave the circulation area if the item is a 2 or 4 hour loan.
From the drop-down menu, choose a selection criterion for your search: Course, Instructor, or Department. For example, if searching by Course, type three letters and the course number: HIS100. Click Go.
From the Browse List, click on your selected entry. Click on the Number of the entry to retrieve the full record.
