The Reserves Collection consists of materials assigned by instructors as a supplement to their course. Any Faculty or Staff member, with a valid U of I Identification Card, may place items on Reserve. Items placed on Reserve are shelved behind the Reserve Desk. A list of the Reserves Collection is available at the Reserves Desk, and it is arranged by the instructors' last names. The Reserves Collection may also be searched online.
To check-out a Reserve Item you must have a valid U of I ID Card. Reserves may be checked out two at a time. There is no hold policy for Reserve Materials and all renewals must be done at the Reserve Desk.
