Library’s Reserves Policies

  • To ensure a fast turnaround when placing items on reserve (regardless of whether the materials belong to the library or the faculty member), requests for putting materials on reserve should be initiated well in advance of a new semester.
  • Materials are accepted for reserve at the Circulation Desk, located in the Library on the 6th floor.
  • A completed Course Reserve Request form is required.
  • Reserve materials belonging to the instructor should be turned in with the filled out Course Reserve Request form.
  • Photocopies can be put on reserve, however, it is the instructor’s responsibility to create the necessary photocopies.
  • For information regarding electronic reserves, contact Whitney Vitale, Information Literacy/Distance Education Librarian, at 617.585.7337.

The Library welcomes suggestions for purchases of materials that we don’t currently own.

The Library requests that print reserve lists are kept to a 15 book limit. Any faculty request which exceeds this limitation must be discussed with Robert Adams, Acquisitions and Reserves Coordinator. He can be reached at 617.585.0232.
