Checking Out Reserve Material

Reserve Materials at the library are available at the Circulation Desk.  A staff member at the desk will retrieve the item and check it out -- usually for a period of two hours.

Searching:

When searching the library catalog, click on the Course Reserves link at the top of the Books & Media page.  You may either search by course number or instructor name. 

Be aware that when looking at a list of materials under a particular course number, there may be items on reserve for other sections of the same course that are not intended for your particular class.

Note:  A specific textbook can be searched for in the library catalog.  If the library has the item, the Location will usually indicate GCC Reserve Room.

Collection Description

Reserve items are a separate collection of specific books, periodical articles, and other materials (including videos, DVDs, and other media) that faculty members set aside for students to read (or view) for a particular course. These materials, like materials in the General Collection, require a current student ID or picture ID to check out.
