December deadlines are approaching for UGA Libraries services that will aid in instruction of your Spring 2025 classes.
Libraries Course Reserves
The UGA Libraries’ course reserves services help faculty to provide students with easy, no-cost access to readings and supplementary course materials personalized to class curricular needs whether through electronic materials that can be integrated into eLC or through physical items that can be held on reserve at one of our library locations.
Materials planning and support services are currently open for summer and fall semester courses. To ensure availability for the first day of classes, all reserves must be submitted by December 5. Please see below for additional information regarding course reserves. Any questions about course reserves, can be sent to: mainresv@uga.edu.
Special Collections Instruction
In addition, instructors planning to schedule instructional sessions with Special Collections materials during Spring Semester 2025, please make sure to contact the Special Collections instructional team to arrange session(s) on or before December 9.
Please request instruction via the Special Collections instructional request form. Alternatively, if you regularly work with a member of the Special Collections instructional team, please contact them directly with requests. A member of the instructional team will respond to your request with follow-up and booking information within one business week.
