To submit readings for reserve, complete a Reserve Request Form located online
or at the Regents Center Library. For some materials, it may take the KU Libraries up to six weeks to receive permission to post them. In order to have the readings available to students on the first day of class, please provide the Reserve Request Form and the readings at least six weeks prior to the start of the semester.
Because of the unique nature of electronic reserves:
Our library staff can also conduct short library tours, course-related lecture/demonstrations in the classroom or hands-on sessions in the computer labs. We have found that the ideal learning structure is for us to provide a one hour in-class demonstration, followed by a one or two hour hands-on practice session in the lab, but we are happy to tailor our sessions to meet your requirements. To schedule library and database presentations for your classes call Lyn Wolz, library director, at (913) 897-8572 to leave a message or call (913) 897-8570 to talk to someone at the desk.
If you need in-depth or specialized assistance, you can make an appointment with one of our reference librarians for an individual consultation at a time that's convenient for you. If the reference librarians at the Regents Center Library are not able to give you sufficient assistance with a particular topic, we will be happy to connect you with a subject specialist.
. Almost all of these electronic resources are available from your home or office computer as well. Access is also available from the computers in both the library area and the computer labs. Various spreadsheet, statistical, presentation and word processing software is also available on all the library and lab computers.
In addition to the millions of journal and newspaper articles online 24/7, the physical resources available here on the Edwards Campus include more than 60 current journal subscriptions, back issues of journals both in paper and on microfiche/film and a substantial collection of reference books that support our academic programs.
The books that are kept in our library can be found by looking in the KU Online Catalog.
