Course Reserve
Course Reserve is a library service to obtain and present all physical and electronic readings and audio visual content together in one system for a course.

For Students
If your course uses Moodle, log into your course Moodle via your WesPortal and access your Course Reserve list from there.
If your course does not use Moodle, log directly into the Course Reserve system:
- choose "Find Lists"
- search for your course code (e.g. CHEM102)
For physical items, such as print books and DVDs, the list will indicate whether the item is held in Olin or the Science Library. For items in Olin, go to the Reserve Desk. It's located on the first floor—from the lobby, go left at the circulation desk, then right at the end of the hall. The Reserve Desk (and a worker who can help you) is across from the printer/copiers.
Reserve items in SciLi are held at the circulation desk, which is located to your right as you enter. A worker at the desk can retrieve the needed items for you.
Your Wesleyan ID card is also your library card, so remember to bring it with you.
