The recent cancellations of certain library collections have impacted the availability of some materials for our Library Reserves. These cancellations, driven by budget constraints and shifting priorities, have reduced the range of resources that can be offered to students and faculty through the reserves system. As a result, some essential texts and reference materials may no longer be accessible. We are committed to exploring alternative solutions to mitigate these effects and continue supporting the educational needs of our community.

The Library Reserves team, in partnership with the Information, Instruction, and Technology Services (IITS), is working on the transition from Mediasite to Microsoft Stream. We understand the importance of uninterrupted access to educational resources and our primary goal is to ensure a smooth and seamless experience for all Library Reserves users.
At this stage, we do not anticipate any disruptions. Faculty and students will be informed of any updates and progress related to this transition. We will work to provide continuous and reliable access to our media resources throughout this process.
Please see related updates from IITS, here. Should you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Library Reserves or IITS teams.
