How Physical Reserves Works for Students

• Physical reserves are available at the Circulation Desk during hours the Library is open
• There is a two hour loan period during the day for all reserves
• Your CIIS ID card is held while you are using reserve items in the Library
• Reserves may be borrowed within two hours of closing and checked out overnight (except for A/V materials and instructor copies). These items must be returned within two hours of opening the next day the Library is open. There is a $2.00 per day fine for late reserve items.
• Reserve materials may not leave the Library, with the exception of overnight loans
