Locating Reserve Materials

For All Items


All items (books, .pdf files, audio files, course notes, etc.) on Reserve for your courses will be listed in Blackboard.

  • Log in with your NetID and password and select your course.

  • Reserve materials are listed under the Course Tools/Course Reserves link.

  • For information on using Blackboard e-mail questions to help@syr.edu.

For Physical Items


Physical items (books, CDs, music scores) are also listed by course and instructor in the Course Reserves tab of the Classic Catalog. These items must be checked out from a library service desk.

  • Use the Classic Catalog Course Reserve search to learn if the item you need is currently available.

  • Locate the desired item(s) and note the call number.

  • Ask for the item by call number at the appropriate Circulation desk and a staff member will retrieve it for you. (The call number for most physical items also appears in Blackboard but current availability only appears in the Classic Catalog.)
