What are course reserves?

Instructors at the Faculty of Dentistry can make course readings available online through Quercus, the University's online learning management system, or as physical items that can be borrowed from the Course Reserve/Short Term Loan section at the Dentistry Library. If you are an instructor who would like a textbook to be placed on Course Reserve (or removed from reserve), please contact us at library.dentistry@utoronto.ca

New this year! Our course reserves are physically located in our reading room. You may peruse them at your own leisure. If you wish to check them out, you have to bring them to the Service Desk and present your TCard.

Borrowing Policy

Course Reserves at the Dentistry Library can be checked out for 24 hours. This means that the item will be due back the following business day after it is checked out. You must return the item before the library closes. Please check our hours page for more information. If you check the book out on a Friday, it will be due back the following business day that we are open, usually Monday, unless there is a holiday. The Dentistry Library reserves the right to limit the number of Course Reserves borrowed.
