Course reserves

The library offers the so called ‘Course Reserves’. On these Course Reserves, the library presents books that are associated with a certain course.

Course Reserves can be requested in different ways:

  1. Sharepoint
    With this form , you can specify which books are needed on a Course Reserve for your lessons. You can also specify whether the default loan status of the books should be changed into ‘not available for loan’, ‘short loan’ or ‘very short loan’. One doesn’t need to fill in a separate form for every book you want on your Course Reserves. From now on, filling in the form in detail for the first book and then adding the rest of the list in the text field ‘Opmerkingen’ will be sufficient. A new form is only necessary when you want to add books for a different course.
    If you have already added books for one of the previous academic years, you will find your own list on Sharepoint. You can make changes, add or delete books to this list for the next academic year. If you would like the book to be on the Course Reserves again, please fill out ‘CP 2023- 2024’ in the remarks. Meanwhile, books that have had a recurring status, have often been purchased as an e-book as well (if there is a digital version, that is).
  2. E-Mail
    If sending your list for the course reserves via Sharepoint doesn’t seem to work out, you can also send us your list for the Course Reserves via e-mail to collegeplank.flw@ugent.be. They will keep you posted on the progress of the course reserve. Please add the name of the course, the year (Bachelor/Master), remarks, semester and loan status (no loan/very short loan/short loan) in your message.
If books that are needed for the Course Reserves are not available in our collection, you can always order the title with our online order form – don’t forget to fill out ‘course reserves’ in the remarks.
