Course Reserves

Course Reserves

Students, your instructors may put items on course reserve. These items include:

• Books and book chapters
• Articles
• Audiovisual materials
• Educational kits

Reserve items can be checked out for short periods such as 2 hours, 4 hours, or 1 day. Some items must stay in the library. Visit the help desk at Michener Library or Skinner Music Library to check out course reserves.
