Using the Library

Course Reserves

Overview 

Materials owned by the A.C. Buehler Library may be placed on Course Reserve for access by students. Faculty may also place personal items on Reserve. Please complete the Course Reserve form to submit your reserve requests to the library. 

Notes:

  • We ask that only REQUIRED readings be placed on Reserve. 
  • Items borrowed from other libraries (I-Share and ILL items) cannot be placed on Reserve. 

Requesting Reserves: It may take up to 3 days (not including weekends) for items to be placed on Reserve. 

Personal Items: Professors may place personal items on Reserve. Please bring the items to the circulation desk with a printed copy of the reserve sheet or fill out a paper reserve form at the desk. 

Please do not place highly valuable personal items on Reserve unless absolutely necessary. The library cannot accept responsibility for their safe-keeping. 

Reserve Removal: All items will be removed from Reserve at the end of the semester unless the library is notified otherwise.
