Information about Course Reserves

Reserves are lists of books, articles, videos, and other materials that faculty members require for course work. Physical materials, such as books and DVDs, generally check out for 3 hours, while electronic materials are available 24/7 through course conferences.

For Users

To look up a Reserve item in the online catalog, use the search bar above or select "search by professor" or "search by course" from the dropdown menu in the library's regular catalog search. You can search either by your instructor's last name or by the department name and course number. This search will bring up the entire list of materials that are on reserve for your course. Find the item that you want on the list, and write down the call number.
