- 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.
- Submit your request to place items on in-library reserves using our form.
General information:

- Requested items are usually ready to circulate within five working days.
