The Brown University Library updated its Course Reserves system to a new user interface (UI). All reading list functionality will remain intact for both instructors and students, but the layout will look and feel different, and key features may have moved to new areas on your screen. Updated documentation and training materials showing users how to navigate the new UI are available on our website. For more information, please contact rock-reserves@brown.edu.
