In-house reserves

Placing items on reserve

Faculty may place items on in-library reserve using either of the following methods:

  1. Submit a list of reserve items along with: faculty name, course title, course #, loan period (see below for examples of loan periods) to the 1st floor Service Desk.
  2. Submit your request to place items on in-library reserves using our form.

General information:

  • Access Services staff process each course reserve request in the order received.
  • Requested items are usually ready to circulate within five working days.
  • Please submit each request as far in advance of each session's start as possible.
  • Materials remain on reserve for the duration of the current semester.
  • Please contact the library if you wish to request that the materials remain on reserve longer than one semester.
