Instructors are required to submit a Reserve Submission Form for each course reserve request (physical and/or electronic). Course reserve materials can include, but are not necessarily limited to physical books, selected e-book/book chapters, journal articles, and other online materials. For assistance determining if an item can be placed on course reserve, please email reserves@bcc.cuny.edu. Submission Form Help provide step-by-step instructions on completing the reserve submission form.
IMPORTANT

- For course reserve requests that the library does not own a copy, instructors are recommended to provide the library with a physical copy of the material.
- Materials placed on Reserves and E-Reserves must be legally obtained and owned by BCC library, another BCC department, or the instructor.
