Course Reserves
Make essential course materials easily accessible to your students by placing them on reserve at FSU Libraries.
The Course Reserves Collection is composed of materials selected by current FSU instructors to ensure access to required materials for enrolled students. Physical materials are available at our Scholar Support Desks for in-library use only. eReserves include digital textbooks, chapter & articles scans, and other electronic media requested by instructors and embedded in Canvas course pages by library staff.
The Permanent Reserves Collection consists of physical textbooks for core courses and test prep materials for common graduate entrance exams. This collection is funded by the Student Government Association and curated by FSU Libraries staff.

FSU Libraries are committed to making course materials more accessible and affordable for all students. Through our eTextbook Program, we provide access to thousands of eBooks at no cost to students, reducing financial barriers and ensuring first-day access to required readings. Many faculty at FSU have opted to adopt e-books, journal articles, videos, images, and other digital resources from our collection of millions of items.
