- Once the item is available you will receive an email confirming it is on reserve. Items will not display in the catalog until 7:00 am the next morning.
- Materials on Reserve in the Library may be checked out during regular library hours.
- You may place your personal copy of a book/ article/DVD on course reserve. Please allow time for processing these items. While we always try to be particularly careful with personal copies, we cannot guarantee that they will not be damaged or become lost while checked out by library patrons.
What types of materials may be placed on Reserve?

- Materials to be placed on Reserve should be brought to the Checkout/Reserve Desk. When placing materials for processing, instructors should submit a Reserve Materials Form.
