MERIT Library Online Reserve Form
MERIT Library accepts reserve requests at any time and processes them in the order they are received. Processing delays should be expected at the beginning of the semester. To ensure that items are available by the start of the class, please submit requests 2 weeks before the beginning of the semester. All reserve items will be removed at the end of the semester unless instructors have notified MERIT Library that the materials will be needed in the next semester.

If MERIT Library does not already own the materials, we can arrange to borrow or will purchase most items.
If you would like to put personal items on reserve, please fill out the Printable Personal Items Reserve List and bring it in with the items. MERIT is not responsible for any damaged or lost personal items.
Electronic Reserves
As of August 13th, 2018 the UW-Madison Libraries will be retiring Library Course Pages (LCPs) and transitioning to a Canvas based reserves interface.
E-reserves will now be e-readings and hosted within Canvas. While this will no longer be a library hosted service, library staff are available to assist with e-reading pages in Canvas. This may include converting old LCP pages to Canvas pages, creating new content, managing files and links, or consulting on matters related to copyright and fair use.
