Reserves are accessible through your Canvas course site under the “Course Materials @ Penn Libraries” section. In Canvas, you will see electronic materials as well as print books that are on reserve in the library.
To consult print items on course reserve at Fisher, speak with a person at the Fisher circulation desk with your PennCard. Reserve items are for in-library use only, with a renewable two-hour loan period.
To register your course for reserves please select the reserves option when filling out your Canvas Site Request Form.
Learn more about requesting reserves through Canvas and other methods.
Faculty may place books, journal articles, and other materials on reserve at the Fisher Fine Arts Library. We start accepting reserve lists as soon as course selection for that semester begins and continue until the week before classes. Any reserve requests after that point may take longer to fulfill.
If you do not use Canvas, please email or provide a printed list or annotated syllabus to our Reserves Coordinator, Rachael Schechter.
If we need to purchase a title for your course, let us know. Please note! We do not purchase textbooks for the collection.
