What is the difference between course reserves and reference materials?
Course reserves are textbooks, articles and other supplemental reading materials that instructors place on hold at the Library for their students. Course reserve materials usually have a limited loan period to ensure availability to other students in the class. Course reserves are located at the Circulation Desk in the Main Campus Library, and in Room 219 at the Chico Center. You may make photocopies of reserve materials. Reference materials are library books, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, statistics, etc. They cannot be checked out, but you can make photocopies or read them in the Library. Reference materials are located at on the second floor of the Main Campus Library, and in Room 219 at the Chico Center.
