Reserves
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
- Three days

Instructors often put required reading materials, computer
software, and audiovisuals on reserve for their
courses or clerkships. Reserve materials must be requested and checked out at the Circulation Desk.
These materials usually circulate for two hours/overnight, but instructors sometimes specify longer
circulation periods. Two hours before the Library closes, materials may be checked out overnight. Items
must be returned within one hour after the Library opens on the due
date.
The Library will accept reserve
requests from faculty and staff only. Requests will not be accepted
directly from students.
