Submitting Reserve Requests

  1. Fill out a Reserve Submission Form for each class for which you want materials placed on Reserve.  Note:  If you have placed materials on Reserve in the past, stipulating that they should permanently be on Reserve, we still have to have the form submitted to verify that the material is still needed.
  2. Provide a black, three-ring notebook for any class notes, homework or exams to which you will have material added each week.  If using the same materials as in previous years and they are barcoded, please resubmit the barcoded material.
    Note: We would like to urge you to mount this kind of material on the Web rather than placing it on Reserve in the Library. 
  3. Send the completed Reserve Submission Form(s) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the semester.  We would prefer submission via an email attachment, although receipt of a printed version is acceptable.  Send to:
