How to Get Course Reserve Material

While access to our building remains limited, we can support you online. Learn about the phased reopening of library services.

Log in to the Ares Course Reserves System using your U of G Central login ID.
Click on "View course" to display both the electronic and physical Course Reserve items available for that course.
In the list of course materials, click on "Show Details" to get more information about an item.
Physical copies of course reserve materials will be available to borrow on a first come, first served basis in the library.
- Physical reserve items may be borrowed on a 1 day (24 hour) loan. These items are due back 24 hours after they are borrowed.
- Some reserve titles are available on a 3 day loan.
- If you borrow a course reserve item, please return it to the Ask Us Desk, not the book return bins.
- All returned items will be quarantined for 72 hours. Check items in Ares to find out the date that they will be available for loan again.
