Copyright & Course Resources (Reserves)
New Course Resources system coming May 2026
- Starting with the Spring 2026 semester, Laurier Library is moving to a new Course Resources system. This will replace the old Ares system that many of you are familiar with.
- As part of the transition, instructor access to create course resource lists in Ares will be shut down on February 23, 2026.
- If you need a course resource list for Spring 2026, please email your syllabus to libreserves@wlu.ca
