In-house reserves

Placing items on reserve

You may place items on in-library reserve at the Library using either of the methods below:

• Submit a list of reserve items along with: faculty name, course title, course #, loan period (see below for examples of loan periods) to the 1st floor Service Desk.
• Submit your request to place items on in-library reserves using our form.

Access Services staff process each course reserve request in the order received. Requested items are usually ready to circulate within five working days. Please submit each request as far in advance of each session's start as possible.

Materials remain on reserve for the duration of the current semester. Please contact the library if you wish to request that the materials remain on reserve longer than one semester. The library will not store instructors' personal copies for use in a future course so instructors must collect their personal copies at the end of the current semester.
