Reserves & E-Reserves

Course Reserves are course-specific materials set aside by instructors for student use. We offer two types of Reserves services. Online (e-reserves) and Traditional (print) reserves.

Instructors: Please see Reserves Information for Faculty for detailed information about course reserves and to access the Request Form to have materials placed on reserve. Questions? Contact cowles-reserves@drake.edu.

E-Reserves

E-Reserves are electronic copies of material scanned in PDF format for class usage. Pages are created for specific classes using the scanned material or web sites. Passwords are available from your instructor to limit access to each course and changed each semester.
