How To Access Course Reserves

What: Items on Course Reserve have special restrictions on them that make them different from the rest of the library's collection. They are specially requested by faculty members on a case by case basis.

Why: Items are placed on Course Reserve by faculty members who wish to ensure equal access to all students taking the course. For this reason, restrictions are placed on the circulation of Reserve items.

Where: Course reserve materials are located at Access Services, the front desk on your right as you enter Mantor Library.

How Long: Some items on Course Reserve, including all videos, must be used in the Library; others must be used in the library during the day, but may be taken out one hour before the Library closes; these must be returned within one hour of the Library’s opening on the following day. A few Reserve items may be taken out for one week. In the latter two cases, materials returned late are subject to overdue fines. If you have questions about how long a Reserve item may be used, please ask a staff person at the time you check the material out.

Please note: a student ID is required for ALL Reserve items, even those that do not leave the Library.
