PLEASE NOTE: IMPORTANT CHANGES TO COURSE RESERVES

Ereserves

  • Ereserves are available through Leganto. If you would like to use Leganto for ereserves, please email libreserves-oak@northeastern.edu to request that the library set up a page for your course. Make sure to include the course code and course title in your request.
  • If you need access to any e-reserves used in the past, email libreserves-oak@northeastern.edu with the professor’s name, course name and course number.
  • When choosing materials, we highly encourage selecting electronic resources that are licensed by the library or are Open Educational Resources (OERs). See the Linking to Resources guide for information about linking to materials in the library’s databases and the Affordable Course Materials guide to identify OERs.
  • If you must use a specific text not available legally online, we recommend selecting 10 percent of the most important content and uploading it to canvas.
  • Faculty members are responsible for complying with copyright law. Please refer to the Copyright and Fair Use guide for more information

Physical Reserve Copies

  • You can use Leganto to submit reserve requests for physical items as well. Please email libreserves-oak@northeastern.edu to request that the library set up a page for your course. Make sure to include the course code and course title in your request.
  • You can also submit reserve requests via our online request form which we have used in previous years, but this form will no longer be available come 2024.
  • If you need to request something the library doesn’t own, use our library purchase request form. Make sure to indicate that the item is for reserve and include the course name and number. We cannot purchase textbooks, but you may provide personal or department copies that we will place on reserve.
  • You can drop off personal copies at the circulation desk up to one month before the start of the semester. We are not able to accept them further in advance.

We continue to urge you to consider using e-books and other electronic resources instead of print materials. Please email libreserves-oak@northeastern.edu for help determining whether your course materials are available electronically.

For additional instructions on how to use Leganto, both for e-reserves and physical reserve items, please refer to Leganto (reserves) for Oakland Instructors.
