Faculty and staff services and resources

This guide gathers together resources to assist faculty in using CCC Library's tools, research tutorials, and services.

Course Reserves - Online Options

CCC Library can help you provide your students with Course Reserves material electronically.


Are your course textbooks typically accessible through CCC Library's Course Reserves? If yes, let's make it happen electronically, too.

Fill out our eReserves Request Form to request CCC Library scan chapters from your course's required and recommended textbooks and course materials. You can then upload the material to your password-protected Moodle classroom for students to access. Attached to each scan will be a copyright statement explaining fair use of the material.

This is a free service. The chapter(s) will be delivered to you electronically. Response time in 3-5 days.

Why put items on Course Reserves?

CCC faculty members are expected to "place one copy of all required and recommended texts on reserve in the library or the department office, consistent with Clackamas Community College copyright policies" (ISP170P). If your course texts are not on Course Reserve, email derek.cloo@clackamas.edu

CCC Library's most frequently checked-out resources are Course Reserves material. Providing your textbook or class materials saves students money and helps students who:

  • have delays in their financial aid disbursement or other financial hardship;
  • would like to work on campus, but left the book at home;
  • can't get the book from the bookstore yet; or
  • are thinking about taking the class, and want to see the material to help them decide.

Students are grateful and excited when they discover that a course textbook or workbook is available. Note that instructors need to provide all course reserves items: CCC Library does not order the textbook for you, it is the instructor's responsibility to provide the library with copies of their required texts.
