Materials owned by the UCI Libraries or UC Regional Library Facilities

Last updated July 20, 2021.

Materials owned by the UCI Libraries can be placed on Course Reserves by completing the online order form for the Langson Library, Science Library, or the Multimedia Resources Center.

Circulating materials housed at a UC Regional Library Facility (either SRLF or NRLF) may be borrowed on Interlibrary Loan and placed on Course Reserves at a UCI Library. Contact us to make arrangements to have the material borrowed and placed on Course Reserves for your course. Materials obtained via Interlibrary Loan from other Libraries cannot be placed on Course Reserves.
