- out-of-print items.
- Once the purchased item has been received in the Reserve Department, an e-mail will be sent to the
requester indicating the item has been received and placed on Reserve for the course.
- The Reserve Office will accept personally-owned books and videos from faculty and staff in accordance with copyright restrictions.
- Items borrowed from other libraries cannot be placed on Reserve unless the professor obtains written permission from the loaning institution.
