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.
Looking for E-Reserves? Try our E-Reserves system.
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.
