Placing Materials on Reserve
Please bring in materials to go on Reserve well in advance of students needs for them. Our goal is to process material in 48-72 hours, but at the semester starting peak, the material may take longer to be made available. Materials received after 4 PM or on a weekend will not be processed until the next working day.
Loan Periods
Electronic - Materials are available to students 24 hours a day at any computer in the world in digital format.
Two-hour - Materials circulate for 2 hours and must be used in the library.
Two-day - Materials are available for use outside the library for 2 days and are due at closing on the second day.
Seven-day - Materials are available for use outside the library for 7 days and are due at closing time on the seventh day.

The list must contain your name, the course number, the course name along with the title, author, call number, publication date, and the desired loan period for each book. No current or bound volumes of periodicals owned by the library can be placed on Reserve. Books from other libraries cannot be placed on Reserve.
