What are Reserves?

Heavily used items and those requested by instructors for assigned class reading are kept on RESERVE at the library's Circulation desk on the Main floor. Because the demand for these items is high, loan periods are shortened and fine rates are higher.

How can I put an item on reserve?

Edens Library places materials on reserve each semester by request of faculty members for a faculty-designated length of time. Both personal and library materials are placed on reserve in accordance with Copyright Laws.

Faculty members are asked to place materials on reserve before the semester begins to ensure the material is available for student use. A completed reserve form (available at the Circulation desk or from the Circulation Manager) must accompany all reserve materials. Please remember to list all materials placed on reserve on the back of the reserve form. The faculty member is responsible for pulling library materials they need placed on the reserve shelf.

Photocopied materials should include:
  • Any copyright notice on the original
  • Appropriate citation and attributions to the source


  • Please see the J. Drake Edens Reserve Policy for Photocopied Materials for further instructions. A copy of the policy has also been made available to your department. Edens Library reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

    Reserve materials are located on shelves behind the Circulation Desk on the Main floor. Students MUST PRESENT their I.D. card at the Circulation Desk to check out the material for the length of time designated.
