I'm an instructor, what do I need to know about placing items on course reserve?

Instructors may submit their personal, department-owned items, or request items from the library's collection to be placed in the course reserves collection.

• Clark College (Vancouver): Course Reserves - Instructors.
• Everett Community College: Library Services for Faculty

What kind of items are kept on course reserve?  High demand items that are essential or required for various classes and are not available in an online (electronic) format.

Who do I contact for help with physical course reserves? 

Clark College (Vancouver): Stop by the Check-out Desk in the Cannell Library or call (360) 992-2151.

Everett Community College: Circulation Desk (425) 388-9353

What if I have an online copy of an article that I want to have my students read in Canvas?  While Canvas makes it easy to put up articles you have saved or scanned, doing so may violate copyright. But you can link to the article in Canvas and stay in compliance. Here's how you do it:

• If the article is full text in one of the library databases (i.e. Academic Search Complete or JSTOR), then find the stable or persistent (EBSCO calls it a Permalink) URL.  For the article to be accessible from off-campus, it must go through our proxy server.  Therefore the URL for our proxy server [https://ezproxy.library.ewu.edu/login?url=] must go in front of the persistent URL of the article.  For more detailed information, see the Help sheet on linking to library articles or contact the JFK reference desk [(509) 359-2263] for help.
