You can access reserve lists from within the Canvas Module titled “Course Reserves.” Items in the list will either be electronic or physical. Electronic materials are accessible by clicking on the title of the item. Physical items are located in the Haggard 2 reserve area and are shelved according to call number. Library-owned books are shelved in Library of Congress call number order in the front of the Course Reserve area.
Instructor’s personal books are assigned a numeric call number and are shelved numerically on the half-height shelves.

Reserves are items put aside by instructors for a class. They are located behind the Circulation desk on Haggard 2. Anyone can check them out, but two-hour reserves can only be checked out for a two-hour period.* * The exception to this is during summer quarters when the library is operating under reduced hours. To accommodate this reduction in hours, it is possible to borrow 2-hour reserve items overnight if they are checked out during the two-hour period directly preceeding the time that the library closes.
Circulation (check out/return/renew items)BooksCatalogReserves Yes, you can use articles from Harvard Business Review (HBR) in your course reserves. We have HBR in print in the library and these articles can be scanned for electronic reserves. However, this does not include HBR Cases. Cases are separate from the journal and must be purchased separately. The library does not subscribe to an HBR Case database. To set up HBR articles in course reserves, please contact Joanna Bailey at Joanna.Bailey@wwu.edu or 360-650-7593. HBR Cases are indexed in Business Source Complete from 1942 to 2013 if you would like to search for cases related to a specific topic. Becuase HBR Cases are often purchased as course-specific materials, they are rarely available through Interlibrary Loan. Articles from the Harvard Business Review are available in EBSCO's Business Source Complete. HBR Publishing has a strict license agreement on electronic copies available in the Business Source Complete and does not allow anyone to link to their articles in Business Source Complete.
HBR claims that their materials in Business Source Complete are not intended to be used for assigned course materials--this restriction includes linking to HBR materials from Canvas, websites, and course syllabi. In addition to these restrictions, HBR has developed an HBR 500 list. This is a list of the most popular 500 articles from HBR and has requested that these be listed as "read-only" in Business Source Complete. The articles are available to read online but they can't be download or linked to. Becuase of these issues, many HBR articles will won't be linked to directly from OneSearch. You will need to go directly to Business Source Complete to access these articles. More information can be found here. The license agreement Harvard Business Publishing has with EBSCO supersedes Fair Use, however Fair Use does apply to the print copy which is why these articles can be used for course reserves. For more Information on HBR's restrictions... Please see the statement from the American Library Association's (ALA) Business Reference and User Association's (BRASS) statement on the HBR 500 and the use restrictions.
