Course reserves enhance and support academic courses by ensuring that students have access to required and supplemental materials. Reserve materials circulate on 2-hour, 3-hour, 24-hour, 48-hour, 3-day, 1-week or 2-week loan periods, as determined by the instructor.
Hardcopy materials are kept behind the circulation desk.
A fine will be added to your account if a reserve item is returned late. After multiple late returns, your borrowing privileges may be suspended for the rest of the semester. Please return items on time to avoid penalties.
Faculty may place materials on reserve so they can be shared with the entire class. All materials placed on reserve must adhere to U.S. copyright laws.
Personal materials to be placed on reserve may be dropped off at the circulation desk.
The default loan period is two hours, unless otherwise requested.
Course reserves are available per semester; unless otherwise requested, materials will be removed from reserve at the end of the semester.
Reserve requests are processed as quickly as possible in the order in which they are received. Please allow for at least 3 days lead time for placing items on reserve, especially at the beginning of the semester.
While the library does purchase textbooks, it is not always economically feasible due to the high costs set by publishers. When considering textbooks for Course Reserve, faculty are asked to temporarily provide either their own copies or desk copies from publishers whenever possible.
