The following materials may be placed on print reserve:

The Library will not accept the following for print reserve:

- Multiple articles from the same journal or newspaper unless copyright permission is supplied in advance
- Consumables (e.g. standardized tests, workbooks, answer sheets, or other commercially available materials)
Other Guidelines for Print Reserves:
- 8.5" x 11" formatted copies with a 1" margin on all 4 sides
- No holes, no staples
- Indicate the circulation status preferred for each item. Library-owned materials may circulate for 1-hour, 2-hour, 4-hour, 24-hour, 3-day, or 7-day periods and may go out of the building, according to professor request.
- Requestor must indicate circulation status preferred and whether in building or out of building is permitted. Include a complete bibliographic citation for the work from which the copies were made.
Recalls - If a library book on your reserves list has been checked out, we will place a recall on that item.
Orders - If the library does not currently own an item on your reserves list, we will place a "rush order" for reserves, when possible. Rush orders may take as long as 30 days.
