Items in the library collection, or items directly related to the course curriculum may be placed on reserve at the Circulation Desk for up to 2 weeks or, with the approval of the Library Director, up to the duration of the course. Only the instructor of the course may request to put an item on reserve.
Placing an Item on Reserve

- If the item is a video tape, include viewing instructions before sending the tape to the library.
- If the item is a CD, submit your reserve request 48 hours before putting the item on reserve.
