Many required print texts are on reserve in the Library. These are located behind the circulation desk, retrieved by a member of the library staff, and can only be used in the Library for a 2 hour period. Students are welcome to reproduce certain pages of the texts, within fair use, to be used for course work. Faculty are welcome to suggest purchase or provide a copy of materials to be placed on reserve. Please inform your students if you have placed materials on reserve. A list of items currently on reserve can be found here.
