The Library's online catalog displays your loans, fines and holds when you log in to your account. Your Student I.D. number and Library password are required.
Faculty, and sometimes Library staff, place materials "on reserve" if they are required reading for a whole class. Reserve materials can be library books,articles, math and science solutions or sample exams, and sometimes teachers' personal books. The full list of Course Reserves is available on the Library Catalogue.
Students can check whether a particular teacher has put items on reserve by searching the Course Reserves. The list may be sorted by title, department, course number, semester, campus, teachers' names. Each teacher specifies whether an item can be borrowed on a 2-day loan or is for Library Use Only.
Please note that your access to borrow reserves is restricted to your campus.
