Where should I start?

To begin preparing your course reserves, follow these steps.

1. Add the course reserves module to D2L

2. Create a list

  • You can create a list from scratch or duplicate an existing list.

3. Add items to your list

  • You can add both library resources and external resources, such as print books, e-books, articles, streaming video, websites (YouTube videos, etc), and upload files.
  • You can also request digitization of books and media items.
  • The library will purchase books and videos added to your list that we do not already own when we’re able to.

4. Share your list
