Traditional Course Reserves

For the Summer 2026 term, Course Reserves will be available in electronic format only as we prepare for our move back into the newly renovated and expanded Carrier Library.

Placing materials on Course Reserve means shortening the loan period to 4 hours or 4 days so they may more easily be used by multiple students. JMU Libraries offers Course Reserves at all our library locations.

  • Physical materials from the JMU Libraries’ collections and your personal copies of materials may be placed on reserve for students to access during library hours.
  • E-books in our collection can also be linked from a Course Reserves list. No change to loan period.
  • Personal copies of materials to be placed on reserve can be delivered to any service desk or via campus mail to Carrier Library, Room 3011, MSC 1704, Attention: April Beckler. Be sure to include the following information with materials for course reserve: Instructor name(s), Course number and section, library branch location for checkout, and reserve loan period (4-hour or 4-day).
  • If you would like to request the purchase of materials not owned by JMU Libraries for course reserves, please email reserves@jmu.edu. In collaboration with Collection Administration, Course Reserves staff will review requests for new purchases for JMU Libraries that can be placed on course reserve at any of our 4 locations.
