Finding Your Course Materials

Search for Reserve Materials

  1. Go to the Course Reserves Search in the library's online catalog
  2. Search for materials by title, author, or your instructor's name
  3. Click on the title(s) for the material(s) you want to access

Get Your Materials

  • Print materials: Look for a green "Available" or gray "Unavailable" to find the call number and library. Write down the call number and location, then bring this information to the circulation desk at the appropriate library.
  • Electronic materials: Click "Online Access," "Full Text Online," or "View It" to see all options. Use your Loyola username and password if prompted to log in.

Some electronic materials may be available through Sakai instead of the library catalog.
