Course Reserves is a library service wherein course-related materials are made available to students during the entire semester and accessible either electronically or physically, through the NU Library.
Course reserves may include but are not limited to library books, textbooks, the instructor's personal book, videos, ebooks, journal articles, book chapters, recordings, class handouts, and other materials deemed necessary by the instructor. The NU Library can only provide access to materials owned or subscribed by the Library.
