Reserves

Placing items on reserve

Reserves – moved to Leganto


Try our Reading List Service (Leganto) embedded in Canvas in which you can organize readings as you wish them to be read. Save time and effort--plus, a librarian will obtain copyright permissions for you as needed.

Before you start

Does the library own the items you'd like your students to read or watch?

Check HamCAT to see if we own a copy of the items you'd like your students to read for your course.

HamCAT receives updates from time to time. If you're new to Hamline, and would like an overview of HamCAT's capabilities--or if you're an old hand but would like a recap, contact Research Assistance.

 

Can we link to an electronic book or article?

Bush Library may already offer access to electronic versions of the materials you wish to assign. Hamline has permission from publishers to link to electronic books, book chapters, and articles from the library's collections in Leganto or Canvas.

Be aware that some electronic resources are limited to single-use license only, i.e. one user at a time. If, in such a case, your anticipated need exceeds access by one user at a time, be sure to contact your liaison. We may be able to upgrade the license or land on another means of providing greater simultaneous access.

 

What about uploading scanned items?

If permission has been obtained from the rights holder, this is fine. If not, or if you're not sure, your library liaison would be happy to assist you.

  

Leganto: Your Reading List Management Tool

Bush Library does not offer physical reserves. Faculty are invited to create a Leganto Reading List, to permit course registrants to access their assigned readings directly from Canvas.

Leganto permits course instructors to organize readings to suit their course structure. Readings may be organized by week, course unit, alphabetical order by author, etc.
