What are course reserves?
Course reserves are books, articles and other items placed in the library by instructors to use for specific courses. Checkout periods for reserve items can be either two hours, 24 hours or three days, depending on what the instructor specifies. Some reserve items must be used in the library, while others are allowed to leave the library. Reserve items must be checked out and returned at the Circulation Desk (Check Out & Reserves.) To request an item, ask for it by the course name.
Course Reserves are specialty items available at the Circulation Desk located on the Main Floor of the Library. Please see http://departments.oxy.edu/library/services/reserves/index.htm the length and restrictions of the item’s check out term and other info. Electronic Reserve items may be viewed online anytime. Contact Michael Kerwin, our Circulation and Reserves Manager, via email or phone at 323-259-2819 if you have further questions.
These are readings that your profs expect your class to use, such as articles, books, book chapters, and solution manuals. Check for Course Reserves in CLUES, either by Course Code (example CHEM 205) or Instructor. The loan period for an item is shown in the record. Be sure to write down the call number to retrieve the item from the appropriate Circulation Desk.
