Course Reserves

The Branner Library provides reserve services for the School of Earth Sciences.

Checking out reserve materials: Consult the online Reserves Catalog or the Reserves Loose Leaf Binder at the Branner Circulation Desk (includes processing status information) to identify items on reserve. Present current ID to use materials. Most reserve materials circulate for two hours; note carefully the expected return time when checking out reserves. Reserve materials may be renewed by phone if no one is waiting for them. They may be checked out overnight one hour before the library closes and returned within the first hour after opening on the following day. Please return reserve materials directly to Branner's circulation desk. Because ready and equal access to reserve materials is critical to the academic enterprise, stiff fines are assessed for tardy responses to items recalled for reserves and for reserve items kept beyond their loan period. We require your prompt action in helping make reserve items available to your colleagues.

Attention Instructors / TA's ! The Libraries' new web-based Course Reserve Form is NOW LIVE!

Placing items on reserve: To place items on reserve, please provide adequate time to process lists. Allow 24 hours for turnaround, especially at the beginning of the quarter. While some items may already be in the library, others may need to be recalled or purchased. Before each quarter, a letter calling for reserve items is sent to faculty along with a list of items previously placed on reserve. To expedite requests, please amend the old list and provide complete bibliographic citations for new items before returning the list to Branner. You may need to obtain copyright clearance for photocopies or scanned versions before we can place them on reserve for you. You may send e-mail requests to Carlin Otto, bring requests for reserves to her in person at Branner's Circulation Desk, or call her at 723-1231.
