What are Video Reserves?
Video reserves are videos selected by a
professor for a particular university course that have been put on hold in
Nonprint Media, or have been scheduled to stream to the course Canvas site for
students to watch.
These items are:
- Placed on virtual reserve and made available through a course space in
Canvas for a two week period, specified by the professor. This is done in order
to make these items available to many students at once.
- Placed on physical reserve in Nonprint
Media (Hornbake Library) for the duration of a course (usually one
semester), then removed when it concludes and returned to the professor or to
the Libraries collection.
- Videos from a professor's personal collection placed on physical (and
sometimes also virtual) reserve.
Accessing Video Reserves through Canvas:
- Login with your Directory ID and
password.
- Click on the appropriate course name listed in the drop-down menu under the
Courses link at the top of the page.
