The first is the Permanent Reserve Collection. This consists of material that is heavily used or that requires special security.
Loan periods vary from one day to one week.
The second category of material in the Reserve Collection is material that is currently being used for a course. Reserve materials are shelved at the Circulation Desk where they may be retrieved by request. These items have a loan period of two hours, one day, or one week, at the request of the instructor. Usually, a last name alone works best. In most cases the course abbreviation is the first four letters of the course name.
