- New Blackboard Request, for articles to be posted electronically to your course in Blackboard.
These request forms are available at the Reserves Services Webpage.
» Steps for placing Materials on Reserves
The process starts by filling out a request form, then submitting your print or audiovisual
materials to at the circulation desk. For Blackboard postings, you can also send the item in pdf format, to the following email account: mlbrsv@gwumc.edu.
Materials are processed on a first come - first served basis. A completed request form must be submitted for all materials.

The library catalog provides a one-point entry to search available reserves, by instructor’s name, course name or course number. A printed list of current reserve materials for each course is also available at the library’s circulation desk.
