Course Reserves

Electronic reserves access via MyUW

Students can access LCPs under the Academics tab in MyUW (http://my.wisc.edu). Your Course Resources module lists all the courses in which you're currently enrolled. Not all courses have an LCP, but if there is one, you'll see a link labeled Library/Reserves. There is a screenshot below.

Electronic reserves access via Learn@UW

Students can access LCPs from Learn@UW (https://learnuw.wisc.edu) from the navbar. The Library/Reserves link takes students to the Library Course Page for the class. If no custom Library Course Page exists for that course, then the link directs visitors to a default library page. There is a screenshot below.

Library Course Pages

Library Course Pages (LCPs) are created by librarians, in collaboration with faculty and instructors, and tailored to a specific course's needs and assignments. LCPs may be accessed from MyUW or Learn@UW.

Depending on the course, the Library Course Page may contain:

  • electronic reserves links
  • a link to a list of print materials on reserve for the class in campus libraries
  • links to research tools such as journal databases and Web sites
  • tips and techniques for making library research faster and more efficient
  • Refworks, for help in formatting bibliographies
  • contact information for personal assistance

For more information on Library Course Pages, including examples, visit the Libraries' Web site.
