Tips for accessing Camosun Library e-resources such as e-journals, e-books, databases, streaming videos on or off campus.

About course reserves

Camosun Libraries provide access to physical copies of some (not all!) class textbooks through Course Reserves. The collection consists of materials that are essential to a course, and items are added at the request of the instructor.

These high-demand items are available for either 24 or 72 hours. Holds and renewals are not permitted, and late fees apply.

More information about Reserves can be found on the Faculty Services and Library Policy guides.
