Course Reserves

Course Reserves are books and other items in high demand because they are needed for a course. At the request of the instructor, the library places these items behind the circulation desk and they have a limited circulation period.

Checking out reserve materials: Consult the online Reserves Catalog to identify items on reserve. Present your current ID to use materials. Most reserve materials circulate for two hours; note carefully the expected return time when checking out reserves.  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 the 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. 

Submitting Reserves

Submit your course reserve list at least FOUR WEEKS in advance of the first class meeting. Submit no more than 3 copies of journal articles. The default loan period is 2 hours.
