Information for Faculty and Staff

The purpose of the Reserve Collection is to gather course and other materials in one location for student use and to ensure that every student in the class has equal access to the assigned material.

Required readings should be placed on reserve. Please provide a list of materials required for your course so the library can make them available to students.

Faculty may request books, videos, journal articles, and other materials to be placed on reserve. Reserves are located behind the circulation desk. The instructor may place restrictions on the length of time an item can be checked out:

• In-Library use only
• Two hours
• Overnight
