About Our Course Reserves

Course Reserves are textbooks that can be found at the Library Front Desk and check out for varying time periods. You can find a list of this term’s Course Reserves through FirstSearch, on our Course Reserve page, or by stopping by the Front Desk to speak with a staff member to see what is available.

Do you have current textbooks that you don't need anymore? We accept donations of current textbooks!

Course Reserves Checkout Policies

Checkout periods for course reserves are 3 hours, 1 day, or 2 days, dependant on how many copies we have available. Hourly circulating items can be checked out overnight if they are checked out within 3 hours of the library’s closing time, and will be due back at opening the next day the library is open.

Course reserves are first come, first serve, and can't be recalled or requested. If more copies of a title aren't available, patrons wishing to use the same material more than once in a day must wait 15 minutes between checkouts for 3 hour loans, or 1 day for 1 or 2 day loans to allow others access.
