University Libraries can help instructors provide access to electronic materials to their students during the transition to technology-assisted teaching. Please send any requests for electronic resources including books, videos, articles, etc., to reserves@kent.edu.  Please include the instructor’s name, class number, and complete bibliographic information so we can find the materials as quickly as possible.

We are again offering print reserves for Fall 2021.  Please forward any questions about that to reserves@kent.edu

If an instructor is aware of a library resource that students depend on for their coursework, we will work to provide online access to these materials whenever possible.  Please send an email to reserves@kent.edu, and we will prioritize those materials that are specifically requested.

Course Reserves provides Kent State faculty, students, and staff access to required and supplemental course readings and other materials while complying with copyright laws.
