Course Reserve Materials

Library materials are placed on reserve at the request of faculty for use in their courses. In the Smith Library, these may be located at the Circulation Desk or in the Media Center. In the Health Sciences Library, reserves are at the Circulation Desk.

There are several types of reserves:

  • Closed - for three hour use within the library only
  • 24-hour - may be checked out any time during library hours and must be returned within 24 hours
  • 3-day - may be checked out any time during library hours and must be returned within three days
  • 7-day - may be checked out any time during library hours and must be returned within seven days
  • Media Reserve - for three hour use within the Media Center faculty should submit reserve lists to the appropriate reserve desk at least five working days before the beginning of each term to enable staff to collect and process reserves. Alternately, faculty may choose to bring those items they want on reserve to the Circulation Desk. Please allow 48 hours for the processing of reserve materials.
