To place a book or other USC-owned material on reserve, you will need to create your course in Library Course Reserves and submit the request in which then routed to the designated reserve desk.  USC-owned material will be pulled from the shelves after a request for the physical reserves.

An instructor can submit their own personal copy to be placed on reserve or request for USC-owned material to be placed on reserve. Please keep in mind that personal items are used by your students and normal wear and tear may occur. USC Libraries assumes no liability for damage to personal items placed on reserve. If you are dropping off a physical item to be placed on reserve, please print and fill out the following Drop-off form and include it with the item:

Reserve Request Drop-off Form

A Reserve Request Drop-off Form will need to be filled out if you are dropping off reserve material in-person at a reserve desk.  The form will be provided at most reserve desks or your can download the form here.

Please note that if neither a personal copy is provided or if the book/DVD is not owned by USC, you can still place the request on ARES and select the option to be considered for purchase and added to the USC library collection.

Physical reserves locations available in USC Libraries can be viewed on the left.  USC's 24-hour Leavey Library holds the majority of physical course reserve books and other materials such as DVDs where students can access them.

Physical items may also be placed on reserve in any of the libraries listed on the left column depending on your department, subject area, or location on campus.  Please see the individual library and contact information for further information or questions.

In ARES, instructors can set the following circulation periods:

1. 3 Hour
