Is your textbook on Reserve?

Reserve materials are faculty-selected items that are expected to have heavy use by students in the class.

Textbooks for use in the library are located in the Course Reserve Collection at the Circulation Desk across from the entrance to the library. Not all textbooks are in the library’s Course Reserve collection. Only those textbooks placed on Course Reserve by instructors and departments will be in the collection.

For additional information, please see Textbooks for Use in the Library and Guidelines for Reserves.
