I can confirm from experience that both faculty and students don't necessarily understand what the term, "course reserves" means. I agree with Marc. They often say class readings to refer to course reserves. They rarely say 'materials.'
At Cornell we're still using the term Course Reserves (and I developed a
course reserves service and Drupal module for integrating the external
Course Reserves system into our library web sites). Students also
enroll in courses/classes using information from a Course Catalog.
