FAQs

Lister Hill Library Course Reserves are materials chosen by UAB faculty to support their class instruction. They can include the following types of resources:

• Books
• DVDs
• CD-ROMs
• Book Chapters
• Journal Articles
• Professor’s notes or papers
• Other Online Resources

LHL Course Reserves are split into two sections:

Physical Course Reserves are resources such as books, DVDs, and CD-ROMs that are placed on course reserve and made available for a limited 3-hour check out from the HUB on the first floor. They can be resources that LHL owns or they can be lent to the library by the faculty member and returned once the semester ends.

Book chapters, journal articles, professor’s notes or papers, and other online resources are made available via LHL’s Electronic Course Reserves system (E-Res).

For both Physical and Electronic Course Reserves, faculty or their representative will need to fill out the reserve material request form. Please fill in the form as completely as possible so that our staff can better process requests in a timely manner. Click here for detailed instructions on submitting requests via the electronic form.

Processing generally takes 5 working days, holidays and weekends excluded, but we encourage you to submit requests in advance if possible. Rush requests will be handled as time allows.

Persons with questions regarding the library’s course reserve services should contact the Course Reserves Coordinator, Cathy Beadlecomb at 205-934-2461 or cbeadlec@uab.edu.
