Faculty may place library-owned materials, past exams, materials for class projects, or copies of their own books and articles on reserve for students to use. If the title of a book on reserve is unknown, it can be searched on TechPAC by the instructor's name or course number. Staff members are available at the Reserve Desk to provide assistance. The E-Reserve system enables us to scan and store reserve materials onto the computer, such as test examples, class assignment, syllabus, and articles selected by the faculty member.
Students can easily search reserve materials by instructor's last name, or department name.
Once the materials are located on the computer, students can choose to download to a disk, print out the material, or simpley access it on their own PC anytime of the day or night. The checkout period for items on reserve is determined by the faculty member who assigns the readings. Checkouts range from two hours to three days. Overnight checkouts are permitted during the last two hours the Library is open. They are due back within one hour after the Library opens on the following day.
