Reserve materials are required readings for courses which have been placed in specially designated areas within the library and given shortened loan periods. Reserve collections are found in the Knight Library and branch libraries. In the Knight Library, Documents Center, the Douglass Listening Room, and Media Services also house reserve collections. The Visual Resources Collection in the Architecture and Allied Arts Library, Lawrence Hall, has an extensive collection of art and architecture-related slides and mounted illustrations used on campus for instructional purposes.
Some images are now available for study and review on the web for selected courses.
Lists of materials on reserve are found on Janus, the Library's online system. Select the UO Class Reserve Lists option from the Janus menu and then search by instructor's name or by course to find titles and call numbers. Library books and personal materials, as well class notes, sample tests, and journal articles are examples of the type of materials found on reserve. Science Library Items on reserve may be checked out by all borrowers. These items are not restricted to students enrolled in the course.
