Placing Materials on Reserve:
- A Reserve Request Form is needed for each item.
- Reserve requests for items in the library's collection should be submitted at least one week before they are needed. Reserve items are processed in the order in which they are received.
- Reserve requests need to be submitted and updated each semester.
