To place an item on reserve, you must fill out a request form (available online or at the InfoDesk). Forms can be sent online or submitted to Christa Welty-Salgado. A complete citation must be included with each reserve request. No reserve will be posted without a complete citation.

To be sure material is ready for your students when classes begin, items should be submitted two weeks before the beginning of the semester. Requests submitted after the deadline may not be ready in time. Requests are processed in the order in which they are received.

Fill out either the online or printed media reserve request form.

Course materials are removed after each term unless the items are owned by Nicholson Library. These items can be on reserve for a longer period.
