For Students
Your assignments may require you to read materials on reserve at the Library. Faculty place materials (books, test booklets, photocopies) on reserve to allow entire classes to access the same materials. Materials placed on electronic reserve can be accessed from any computer. Print reserve materials are located at the circulation desk. Please note: Fines for overdue print reserve materials are heavy! See the Fines Schedule for more information.

How to access print and electronic reserves:

• To use print reserve materials, present your student ID. Reserve materials may be checked out for 2 hour use in the library only, and 24 hour or 1 week periods, at the faculty member's discretion. See the reserve list which gives the professor's name, course, and all materials on reserve for a particular class.


• To use electronic reserve materials, find your professor's course site, and use the password he or she provided to you to log in. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader loaded in order to view and print these documents. Free copies are available for download at the Adobe web site.
