Students must visit the library in order to obtain the print reserves for their class. A current list of the available print reserves may be searched by instructor name, course name or course number in the Acorn catalog .
Some libraries also maintain separate lists of their currently available print reserves.
Print reserves may be photocopied or checked out of the library for short periods of time, but circulation policies vary from library to library. Ereserves are typically scanned versions of print reserves or links to articles and other types of documents in full-text electronic sources. Students don't need to visit the library to access electronic course reserves. The Heard Library currently uses the ERes system to make its electronic reserves available on the campus network. Students may search ERes by instructor name, course name or course number for a list of the currently available ereserves for their class.
