How would an Asnuntuck faculty member put a book on reserve for their students?
Answer
Faculty members are welcome to donate a copy of their texts to the library to be placed on reserve for student use. Many faculty use their "desk copy" for this purpose, if they are given one.
We do not currently have sufficient funds to purchase textbooks for Asnuntuck courses. We are working to find alternative funding streams for this purpose, as we recognize the importance of equitable student textbook access and the unique role that academic libraries can play in offering this support on a campus-wide basis.
If you have questions or concerns about this, please reach out to the Library Director for further conversation.
