Course Reserves
Faculty may place reading materials on reserve in the library using the form below. Please note that the library does not purchase textbooks, in keeping with its acquisitions guidelines. However, faculty may elect to place personal copies or reading copies of textbooks that they supply on reserve.
Library Materials Links
To facilitate student access to library-owned online resources embedded in course materials, faculty should generate and use proxied URLs. While the nomenclature may vary, look for buttons or links labeled "permalink," "permanent URL," etc., to produce these links. Review any link to ensure that it has the following prefix before embedding it: "https://ezproxy.smwc.edu/login?url=". Please note that sometimes the prefix is (re)moved, but "ezproxy" should be somewhere in the link. An up-to-date list of library databases is provided below.
Curriculum Builder in D2L
Using Curriculum Builder (an external learning tool integrated in D2L), faculty can create reading lists of library materials for courses directly within the LMS. For more information, contact the Faculty Resource Center.
