Staffed Hours:
Niagara University Faculty may place course materials such as books, DVDs, and other physical items on Reserve at the Library for their students. These items will be maintained at the first floor Information Desk.
Students, Faculty, and Staff can access the materials during staffed hours within the Library as they are locked during unstaffed access hours. Alumni, Courtesy Card holders, and AcademicSHARE users may also use Course Reserves inside the Library during staffed hours. Reserve items may be checked out for two hours at a time.
Reserve materials cannot be checked out for home use by students unless the Library receives direct authorization from the instructor.
To place books and other physical items on reserve, contact Melissa Langridge, Coordinator of Public Services and Assistant Library Director via email. You may also submit your information via this form.
Instructors usually provide us with copies of items to be placed on reserve. If you need an item that the Library does not own, please contact Samantha Gust, Head of Collections, at (716) 286-8031 or via email.
It generally takes 24-48 hours to process reserve material. It may take longer at the beginning of the semester. Please allow enough time to ensure that material will be available when students need it
*eBooks and other online resources can be embedded in your Canvas course pages. Please contact Katherine Rossi, Director of Faculty Development, at Send Email or (716) 286-8040 if you need assistance.
