For Faculty

What can be placed on reserve?

Any material - books, ebooks, DVDs, CDs - except for journal articles may be placed on reserve. The materials can be from the library's collection or can be your personal copies. 

  • All reserve items must remain in compliance with US Code 17 of U.S.
  • Journal articles cannot be placed on reserve through the library. Instead a link to the article may be placed on Canvas, or a PDF can be uploaded into the CMS.
  • Faculty who put their personal items on reserve may suggest those titles for library purchase

If you have any questions please email us at circulation@bridgewater.edu.
