Course Reserves

The library maintains course reserves to make sure heavily used resources are available for students when they need them. Library materials or faculty-owned materials including books, periodicals, and audiovisual media may be placed on reserve. We can also create links to electronic resources. Copyright law does not permit protected materials to be photocopied and placed on reserve.

To place items on reserve, send materials (or a message listing authors and titles of books held by the library) to Grace Wallace at (252) 985-5234 or . Indicate course number and title, reserve classification (strict library use only, 3-hour, 1-day, 3-day, or 1-week), when to take items off reserve, and your name. The library requires at least 24 hours to place requested items on reserve; a week or more is preferable.

Materials may also be placed on reserve for classes at off-campus sites. Please contact the Circulation Supervisor to make arrangements for off-campus reserves.
