If your course/professor has items on reserve, your search will take you directly to a link for the course/professor. Click on the listing to display all items on reserve. Follow title links to find out more information about the item.
All reserve items have a check out period of three hours. A maximum of three reserve items may be checked out by any patron at one time. Reserve material may be taken out of the Library unless otherwise noted. Please alert Information Desk staff if you wish to take reserve items out of the building at the time of checkout.
Reserve items may not be renewed or reserved for a specific time/date. Reserve checkout is on a first come, first served basis. Please refer to the Library’s Online Catalog in order to determine whether an item is currently checked out and when it is due back.
Reserve items must be returned to the Library Information Desk on the second floor of the Library. Failure to do this may result in overdue material and ultimately, an accrual of fines.
Electronic Reserves are available online to students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When prompted, please enter the Electronic Reserves password that was provided by your Instructor.
