These books are the same as Main Library books, but larger, thus requiring different shelving. These items are small in size and so are kept separate from the Main Library books to prevent their being destroyed or lost. Pamphlets are located on Level 4 of the library alphabetically by call number. While they are circulated by the Main Desk, the call number system is different from that of regular books. After requesting these materials in the online catalog, patrons may retrieve their materials at the Loan Desk two hours later.
Items located here are older, fragile, possibly valuable.
There is also a drop bin in the parking lot of Thompson hall parking lot, and slots for returned materials at the Loan desk itself. All Reserves items should be returned to the Reserve Desk to avoid late fees. Durham Public Library books should be returned to the Mill Road Plaza drop box. Please do NOT return them to any University Library sites.
