Instructions for Course Reserves Request

The course reserves request form is for Shady Grove faculty only. USG faculty affiliated with BS, SU, TU, UB, UMB, UMBC, UMES, & UMUC can fill out the reserves request form to request course reserve materials for their classes. UMCP Faculty at USG are suggested to look at the web page Course Reserves for College Park Faculty for instruction on how to request course space in ELMS. Faculty will need to log into ELMS to activate the Course Reserves. This step will enable the UMCP faculty to send their requests via ELMS, and the faculty will be able to monitor the status of their requests and receive email notices when new reserve items become available.

NOTE: The Library would like to receive the reserves request two-weeks prior to the date when students will need them. Please be aware that processing reserve materials may take from one to two weeks--especially at the beginning of the semester when there is heavy workload--depending on the nature and availability of the items requested. Materials that are already on loan to patrons do require recalling, which causes further delay in processing the reserves requests. To avoid delays, please submit course reserves request as early as possible. If you have any questions or need assistance, please call Madhu Singh at (301) 738-6223 or email her at madhus@umd.edu.
