Reserves FAQ

1. What terms can I request be set for students using library reserves for my course?

We can provide some guidelines as to what usually works best. Key considerations are the length an item may be circulated to the student, and whether the item is for library use only.

2. Is there a way for students to access course reserves off site?

Absolutely!  The Library provides access to the materials which are processed for copyright compliance.  Print items can be scanned by the Library as part of the process.

3. What is the catch?  It can't be that easy!?

We really make every effort to make the course reserves process as easy and as seamless as possible.  The form is simple, and can be accessed here: Course Reserve

4.Who is the Library contact for questions?

Andrea Leon, at Ext. 1489, or if calling from off campus, 670-1489
