[Faculty] Fall 2026 UCR Library Course Reserve Requests

[UCR Library Rivera Reserves]

Dear Faculty Members,

We are excited to introduce our enhanced UCR Library Course Reserves
Application <https://library-apps.ucr.edu/patron/course-reserves> for Fall
2026 submissions!  We have upgraded its functionality to make submitting,
editing, and managing your course materials easier and more intuitive.

Key Enhancements:

   - *Familiar, Refined Interface:* Enjoy an upgraded layout built for
   smoother navigation without losing the core workflows you already know.
   - *Easier Request Management & Tracking: *Creating, editing, and
   monitoring requests is simpler from start to finish. Plus, notification
   emails now include a direct Request ID link you can click to modify your
   request and you can track its progress.
   - *Integrated FAQ <https://library.ucr.edu/course-reserves-faq>
Center: *Find answers
   to common instructor reserve questions directly within the application.

If you encounter any technical issues or need assistance, please contact us
so our team can provide support as quickly as we can.


*REQUEST DEADLINE: **FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18*



To reserve books, physical media, e-books, or other course materials
through the library’s collection or to request streaming of library media
titles, visit https://library-apps.ucr.edu/patron/course-reserves.

   - If the library already owns an *e-book*, add it to your request so we
   can consider multi-user access.
   - Include requests for videos available through Kanopy so we can ensure
   their availability for the length of the course.
   - If the library does not own a title you request, we will purchase at
   least one copy. *Orders placed for material not owned by
   the library generally take 2-5 weeks for processing.*

The library will make all requested electronic materials accessible to you
within your Canvas course through the Yuja platform.  If you have not yet
done so, please login at ucr.yuja.com to activate your YuJa account, and
click on the "YuJa/Media Storage" link in your Canvas course menu to create
a course channel. Instructors are responsible for retrieving the electronic
material from YuJa and providing students with access. Requests to scan new
materials or upload existing electronic materials should be submitted by
the reserve submission deadline of *Friday, September 18*.


Thank you in advance for submitting your requests in a timely fashion. We
really appreciate it!
