Odegaard Spotlight http://www.lib.washington.edu daily 1 2011-08-03T14:23:00Z Student Directed Course Reserves Pilot - Winter Quarter 2013 http://www.lib.washington.edu/ougl/spotlight/announcements/student-directed-course-reserves-pilot-winter-quarter-2013 This is your library. Help us make it your course reserves shelf!

As a pilot for Winter Quarter 2013, we are now accepting requests from students to place on reserve books required for a course.

Requested books must be designated as "required" in the course syllabus or identified by the course instructor as primary for completion of course work. Requested titles may not include supplemental readings or books recommended for course research projects or "further reading."

We believe there is no better way to have a reserves shelf that is relevant and useful than to have it guided by those who will use it. Using data from this pilot we hope to determine if the demand for this service is significant enough to gain regular funding.

Directions

  1. Fill out this request form:

An exhibit will highlight Odegaard’s history in pictures.  The celebration kicks off with Husky Fest 2012, beginning April 19, 2012.

Odegaard Undergraduate Library has served the students of the University of Washington as a critical academic facility since it was first constructed in 1972. Forty years later, it remains the most utilized student study and research space on campus with more than 10,000 students per day passing through its doors.

Beginning June 9, 2012, Odegaard will temporarily close for renovation through September 23, 2012.  By George, the Newsstand, the Husky Card Account & ID Center, and the UW Visitor's Information Center will remain open on the ground level during the temporary closure.

Odegaard Library will reopen for fall quarter on September 24, 2012, with 24/5 access to the second and third floors with services including computing, course reserves, laptop loans, group and individual study spaces, collections, and writing, research, and technology assistance during the full year of renovation. The entire library, showcasing the renovated first floor, will open fall quarter 2013. For more information about the renovation, visit the Odegaard renovation blog.

Visit the Odegaard 40th Anniversary Celebration website for more information about Odegaard at 40.
