Books: Physical Reserves

Course reserve materials are charged out for use in the building only.  The reserve loan period is two hours for students and faculty (or close of business, whichever is sooner).  If no one is waiting for the item, renewal is an option.  Patrons should be mindful to return reserve materials in a timely way to respect the needs of other students.

Reserve materials are due back to the Library Service Desk by closing on the day they were charged.  Reserve materials kept past closing of the day they were charged incur a fee of $40.  Items that are not returned on time will automatically be considered lost and replacement fees will be applied.

Individual users who wish to make photocopies of copyrighted reserve materials for personal use are responsible for complying with fair use provisions and/or all notices and warnings posted on reproduction equipment (i.e., copiers, printers, etc.) concerning copyright compliance.  Posted notices read as follows:
