Faculty Support Services: Course Reserves

This guide provides faculty, FSU staff, and administrators with resources and information about the law library's faculty services.

Course Reserve Intake Form

The law library is happy to assist faculty by placing casebooks and other materials on course reserve; however, as a standard policy, the library does not procure copies to place on reserve. If you have a copy you would like to place on reserve, please complete the form attached below and bring it to the law library's Patron Services Desk along with the reserve copy.

Requesting a Review Copy

Some (but not all) publishers will make complimentary hard copies available to faculty. Typically, review copies must be requested by faculty members, although some publishers allow FSU staff to place a request on their behalf. You can find additional information below about procuring a review copy with the following publishers:
