What are reserves?

Reserves are high demand resources (books, articles, etc.) that are specific to courses being offered each semester.
Typically before each semester starts, professors will ask library staff to place these items behind the reference/circulation desk to be used for in library use only. This gives the ability for students to use these materials.

How do I view course reserves?

Reserves are held behind the reference/circulation desk. Please ask a staff member to see a reserve. Reserves are for in library use only and cannot leave the library. Reserves can be borrowed for 2 hours. If needed longer, please ask a staff member.

Professor Request Form

Professors, please use this form to request items to be put on reserve each semester.
