Policies & Services: Course Reserves

What kind of material is on reserve? 

• The reserve collection includes books, videos, CDs, and any other materials an instructor has requested to be set aside for class use.

Are all course textbooks on reserve?

• No. Textbooks are provided and placed on reserve by the faculty.
• We do not have any Math textbooks on reserve.

Where are reserve items located?

• All Closed Reserve material is located behind the Circulation Desk.

How do I borrow reserves material?

• Request Closed Reserve materials by title and present your SUNY Ulster ID.

Is there a limit to how many reserves items I may borrow?

• We ask that you borrow only one item at a time to keep as much available to other students as possible during busy times.

How long may I borrow reserve material?

• Generally, course reserve material does not leave the library and is due back before the library closes. This shortened time limit is to give everyone in the class a chance to use the materials.
• Some materials may circulate for longer periods; check with the Circulation Desk for specific details.

May I "reserve" a Course Reserves item?

• No, reserves are available on a first come, first served basis.
