Reserves List History

The Reserves List Service is a collaborative development of Harvard courseware development groups (the FAS Instructional Computing Group and iCommons) and the University Library Office for Information Systems.

A pilot implementation of the Reserves List Service, supported by a small number of libraries, was first offered in Spring 2005. Based on feedback received from the pilot, instructor and library tools were revised and the first production version of the Service was released on June 15, 2005.

In Fall 2006, Reserves List participation was expanded to include libraries in the graduate schools of Design, Divinity, Education, Law and Public Health.
