Having textbooks available on Reserve makes a huge difference to students who cannot afford their required texts, or may be waiting for their copy to arrive in the bookstore. Faculty members and departments can provide the library with the copies of textbooks or other course materials for student use.
First, you will need to fill out the online Reserve Request Form. After we receive the form, we can arrange to have the item picked up from you on campus, or you can drop it off at the library at your convenience.
Once the item has been processed and added to our Reserve Collection, it will be available for checkout at the circulation counter. Please remind students that a Photo ID is require for all library transactions. We recommend setting a 2-3 hour time limit to ensure that multiple students may have a chance to use the item throughout the day. All reserve items are for in-library use only, unless otherwise indicated by the instructor.
