It isn’t hard to see why the Reserve Collection is among of the Library’s most well-used services. Whether it is the case that students are waiting for their purchased textbooks to arrive, their textbooks are too heavy to bring to campus, or they simply cannot afford to buy all their required materials, demand for the required textbooks provided through the Reserve Collection is never in short supply. Until now, this service was only available to students who can physically visit the Edmonton downtown campus. To better serve our distance and regional students, the library is pleased to announce the Distance Reserve Pilot Project!

The Distance Reserve Pilot Project will allow students to request required materials and receive them by mail at no cost. Like the on-campus Reserve Collection, the loan period is reduced to accommodate high demand. Although a successful pilot may result in expansion to other program areas, the Distance Reserve Service is only available to distance and regional PN students at this time. The materials selected for the pilot are seven high-use textbooks.
