Course Reserve is best used when you are uncertain of the exact title of the item a lecturer has asked you to read or when you want a list of all the items for a particular course provided these items are on Course Reserve.

The drop down menu boxes allow you to choose from the following categories:

• Lecturer - this field allows you to look for lecturers who have placed items into Course Reserve
  
• School - this field allows you to look for the school or centre in which the course is offered
  
• Course - this field allows you to look for the course code or course title -refer to your course handout if unsure
  
• Session - this field tells you if the items in the Course Reserve are for the first or second semester, for the full year, or permanently in Course Reserve.

Select from as many boxes as you wish however only one selection can be made per box.

If your search finds nothing, retry using fewer choices. For example if you filled in both Course and Session, do the search again with only the Course selected. See example below.

• Course Reserve ignores all Limits
  
• Course is usually the most helpful box to choose.
