Reserves Services

Reserve materials are located at the Periodicals Desk.  Faculty members reserve materials owned either by themselves or by the library for student use within the library only.  

To place items on Reserve, faculty must bring materials to the library and fill out a request form. This form is kept at the Periodicals Desk. Whenever possible, a copy of the original document(s) should be kept by the faculty member.

  • Check-out periods for reserve materials are designated by the instructor and can be for periods of two-hours up to three days.  
  • Materials checked-out for 2 hours DO NOT CIRCULATE outside of the Periodicals Reading Room.
  • Students may not use more than two items at once. 
  • Students must present a valid student ID card or a suitable picture ID.

Students should come to the Periodicals Desk with either the title of the material or the author's name.  A photocopier is available in the Periodicals Reading Room.

If you would like more information, please email Reserves or call (804) 278-4118.
