Policies for requesting course reserves at the Seattle campus libraries (excluding HSL) are:
-
There is a 10-item limit per course. Please reach out to [email protected] to discuss potential options if you have more than 10 required items for a course.
-
For items that are not already in the collection and need to be purchased, the Libraries will default to ordering the electronic format (if available) unless otherwise requested.
-
The Libraries are only able to purchase one copy of a requested item. However, we are able to place additional copies provided by the instructor or department.
-
Personal copies may be placed on reserve at the owner’s risk. Personal copies will be returned via campus mail at the end of the quarter.
Loan periods for items placed on course reserve will be one of the following:
-
Textbooks and items for large classes: 2 hours
-
Most other print items: 24 hours
-
DVDs: 72 hours
-
Items will be placed on reserve for the full duration of the quarter and cannot be removed earlier (with the exception of personal copies).
Reserve Locations:
-
Physical course materials for all 100- and 200-level courses will be located in Odegaard Undergraduate Library.
-
Instructors for 300-level courses and above may request that their course reserve items be held at another library.
Note: Policies for course reserves at other reserve units may differ — please refer to their respective policy pages for more information.
