At the end of the last century, American academic libraries developed the concept of a special collection that would ensure the availability of material required for course work. These collections, first called Academic Reserves, then Course Reserves, or just Reserves, have become one of the most valuable services an academic library can provide for its students and faculty. Salem State College Course Reserves, a key service for both students and faculty, includes books, journal articles, U.S. government documents, syllabi, lecture notes, exam samples, paper samples, videos, audiotapes, rocks and minerals, materials in some cases that libraries have not previously considered as part of their main collections. Currently on Reserve at SSC are 2,041 items from 259 courses and 115 instructors. The list, constantly updated, reflects changes from day to day, as instructors add and remove materials.
