Course Reserves
Traditional (Print) Reserves
Faculty may put library-owned books, personal copy books, article photocopies, VHS tapes, DVDs, or other teaching materials on reserve for student use during the semester.

In order to put items on reserve:

• Bring the material(s) you want on reserve to the library's front desk.
• Complete a Reserve Form (also available at the front desk) indicating: your name, department, course being taught, loan time, type of reserve, and the title of the item as you have it listed in your syllabus.
• You can learn about the seven loan times on the the student Course Reserves page.

All reserve items are removed at the end of the semester. You may come in prior to that time and ask for items to be removed. Personal copy items not picked up will be returned through campus mail. Please contact Kate Hoefler at (740) 826-8156 for more information about putting items on reserve.

Electronic Reserves (E-Reserves)
The library supports electronic course reserves, which students can download, email, save, and print.

In order to put items on E-Reserve:

• Read Electronic Reserves Information for Faculty to understand what can and cannot be put on e-Reserves.
• Fill out the Electronic Reserves Online Submission Form (or download as PDF).
• Access E-Reserves from the library homepage using your name, barcode number, and a course password.

Library Instruction
You may request a librarian to come and teach specific resources to your class. The instruction session can take place in your classroom or in the library. Please visit the Instruction page for more information or contact Kristin Cole at (740) 826-8017.

• Fill out the Instruction Form to request a visit with a librarian or to request a course guide.

Interlibrary Loan
If you find a citation for a book or article that is not available through the Muskingum University Library or OhioLINK, you may request it using traditional Interlibrary Loan.

Use our online forms to:

• Request a book
• Request an article

Charges can be billed back to your department. If you have questions about Interlibrary Loan, please contact Nicole Robinson at (740) 826-8154.

Recommending Items for the Collection
Find book reviews by using Choice Reviews. Use the on-line request form or paper copies available in the Acquisitions Office to recommend books and other materials the Library should purchase. Please contact Connie Burke at (740) 826-8153 for more information.

Archives and Special Collections Research
The Library maintains both the University Archive and a separate special collection of unique non-circulating books. Most of the items in the special collection have records in the Muskingum Library catalog and will appear in your search results. However, the items in the University's archive do not have records in the Muskingum Catalog. If you need access to either the archives or special collections, please contact Cherie Bronkar at (740) 826-8017.
