Course Reserve Checkouts

This Fall 2020, we will be temporarily adjusting our Course Reserves loan policy from 4 hours in-library use only, to a 2 day loan period that will allow patrons to check-out Course Reserves from the library. Since these materials are limited and in high demand, we will be enforcing an increased late fee of $2/day for any reserves that are returned after their due date.
