RESERVE GUIDELINES FOR FACULTY (PRINT AND ELECTRONIC)

The Library provides Reserve services for materials that will be in heavy demand throughout the quarter. Items that may be placed on Reserve include books, articles, or chapters from the Library's collection, and personal instructor copies. Audiovisual materials and slides may be placed on Reserve as well. Materials owned by other libraries may not be placed on Reserve.

Reserve items that are held behind the circulation desk may be checked out for two hours (audiovisual materials for four hours) during the Library's open hours or overnight. Electronic Reserve materials may be accessed online at any time. Lists of materials on Reserve (including Electronic Reserve) may be retrieved using the Library's catalog, Ariadne.
