The Brandeis Library supports teaching and learning across campus. We work with faculty to help students develop skills in research and information literacy, digital literacy, data analysis, and more.

The Center for Teaching and Learning is dedicated to supporting instructors with their teaching and learning needs. 

Course reserves are books, videos, and audio CDs that faculty members and instructors can ask the library to set aside for class reading and course work. Learn more about the course reserves program and how to submit course reserves for your classes.
