Print Reserves

To guarantee that print reserve materials will be available in time for class assignments, please submit your requests early as acquiring a book that the Library does not already own can take several weeks. Please consider ordering an extra desk copy of the textbook when you place your textbook order - submit this extra copy for reserve if needed. Reserve materials may be sent to the Library via campus mail or dropped off at the Kresge Library Circulation Desk for processing. Requests to place materials on printed reserve can be accommodated throughout the semester by coming to the Library’s Circulation Desk or filling out our web-based form.

Electronic Reserves via CTools

Electronic reserves are available through CTools to provide students in your class with remote access and print capability for Library materials, syllabi, course notes or other materials. Please feel free to contact us at KBALCurric@bus.umich.edu to discuss how Electronic Reserves can work for you.

Kresge Library wants to make it easier for students to find course information including course syllabi. In addition, Kresge Library would like to create a school archive of course syllabi. To that effect, we offer faculty the opportunity to submit their syllabi to Kresge Library to be catalogued and made available to students through the Kresge Library Catalog. If you are interested in submitting your syllabi for this project, please send a pdf of your syllabus as an attachment to an email to our Course Reserves Coordinator, Tao Gong at KBALCurric@bus.umich.edu.

Locating Videos

Borrowing Materials

Kresge Library owned videos are loaned for 2 hours.  However, arrangements for longer loan periods, up to a semester, are easily made.  Contact Debie Gurkin for details. UM Film and Video library borrowing information is found on at UM Film and Video Library’s homepage.

Purchasing Videocassettes

Faculty are encouraged to purchase business related videos through the Kresge Library.  Funds are available to support these purchases and librarians are ready to assist you.  Orders can be submitted online. For non-business related videos, you may submit purchase requests to the Film and Video Library.

If you have any questions regarding videos, please contact Corey Seeman.
