George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
How to find course reserves and Textbooks
Course Reserves are required or recommended readings, including textbooks, books, articles, and class notes that your instructor has placed on reserve for you to use.
Many course reserve textbooks can be found in self-serve kiosks located outside of the Library Learning Commons at Casa Loma, St. James, and Waterfront campuses, while some are located inside the libraries at the help desks. Please bring the title of the item and your instructor’s name so library staff can help retrieve the item for you.
To sign out items, a valid GBC Student ID/library card is necessary. Please note that, due to demand, all course reserves are available for short-term loans (usually 3 hours or less) and are not renewable.
