The CLB Library Reserves service provides special access to specific high-use materials. Reserves are located at the Circulation Desk and are accessible any time the Library is open.
Faculty may request that materials relating to a specific course be placed on reserve. Faculty interested in placing materials on reserve should consult the Faculty Reserves Request Information page.
Only students enrolled in the course may use these materials. Use of these items may or may not be restricted to inside the Library, and may have a loan period from 2 to 24 hours, depending on what type of reserve the faculty has placed on each item.
| Loan Period | Policy |
|---|---|
| 2 Hour | Must be used in the Library and returned within two hours. |
| 24 Hours | May be checked out any time the library is open, but must be turned in within 24 hours of check-out time. |
General high-use materials from the collection are placed on permanent reserve, as well as equipment such as headphones, calculators, etc. Anyone may use these materials, but usage is restricted to inside the library, and each item may only be checked out for two hours at a time.
Both Permanent and Course Reserves are located behind the Circulation Desk. Please provide the Circulation staff with the title of the item, as well as, in the case of Course Reserves, the last name of the professor teaching the course.
Overdue Reserves result in a fine of 50 cents for every hour they are overdue, with a maximum of $10 per item. Overdue Audiovisual Equipment will result in a fine of $1.00 for every hour they are overdue, with a maximum of $10 per day for each piece of equipment.
