Course reserve is a term used in academic libraries to describe materials set aside for a specific academic course or other use.[1] Most often materials are put on course reserve by library staff at the request of the course's instructor.[2] Materials on reserve typically have shorter loan periods than other library materials to allow access to a high volume of library patrons - for example, the students taking the course in question. Reserve materials usually return to normal circulation at the end of the term.
