Course Reserve Requests for Spring 2021

Requested materials will be provided in an electronic format first, with book chapters and articles digitized as needed. While every attempt will be made to provide electronic access to materials, be aware that it may not always be possible due to copyright concerns.

In addition, a Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) program has been developed to support teaching and learning while print materials are not circulating. CDL is the digital equivalent of traditional library lending whereby we can digitize a library-owned book (or through purchasing) and make the digital version accessible to students in the course. (Similar to use when accessing a single user e-book.).

Instructors who are interested in the CDL program, please email eres@uflib.ufl.edu with subject line “CDL spring 2021 request” for more details.

For Instructors

We strongly recommend that patrons reach out to their subject specialist or seek assistance from the Ask-A-Librarian service. These resources may help patrons to locate alternative resources that can be supplied more quickly.

* The situation may change with little notice, and while we will do our best to supply services, there may be disruptions that are beyond our control. Your patience is very much appreciated!
