In-Library Reserves

Placing items on reserve for your students

Faculty may place items on in-library reserve using either of the following methods:

 

1. Submit your request https://websteruniv.wufoo.com/forms/m1nci4l1168m5si/ 
2. 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.

General information:

 

• 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 term's start as possible.
• Materials remain on reserve for the duration of the current term after which they will be returned to the collection or to you if we've added one or more of your personal items. 
• 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 term.
