Course reserve items are required or recommended readings or films shared by all members of a class. These items can be found at the circulation desk.

  • Patrons must have their OneCards in order to check out reserve items.
  • Reserve items have short loan periods to insure that all students in the class have equal access.
  • All items are available on a first come, first serve basis, and they cannot be requested for pick up on the hold shelf.

What Is on Reserve?

You can search for course reserve materials through Catalyst, our library catalog. You can search course materials by keyword, title, author, class by course name/number (ARTH 100), or instructor.

Professors provide reading materials on Moodle.
