Course Reserves
Textbooks that are part of our Course Reserves are available for checkout (for a 24-hour period) from the main desk in the library. Usage of print course reserves will be very limited in the fall semester, due to a mandated 96-hour quarantine between checkouts.

Please let the library staff know if you are having difficulty finding the material you need for your class and we will investigate all options for you.
