Course Reserves: Home

Faculty choose from the following loan periods:

• 4 hours (default)
• 1 day
• 7 days

Materials borrowed through outside sources such as Interlibrary Loan or Summit cannot be placed on reserve.

Non-circulating items such as periodicals or reference materials cannot be placed on reserve.

Three ways to place Willamette-owned items on reserve:

1. Retrieve library items from the stacks and submit them directly to the Circulation Desk with a Reserve Request Form available in the library.
2. Fill out the Reserve Request Form online and we will retrieve the items from our collection for you.
3. E-mail circadm@willamette.edu with a list of items that you would like to be placed on reserve. For each item, please include the title, call number, the desired check-out length, and the course name/number.

Your personal materials may be placed on reserve. Fill out the information form ahead of time and then bring the items to the circulation desk. Or, you can fill out an information form when you drop off the items at the circulation desk. These materials will have a call number and barcode attached to them. Some amount of wear and tear should be expected when an item is put on reserve. The library is not responsible for personal copies that are lost or damaged by students. Upon your request, items can be restricted to in-library use only.

Faculty are able to place personal copies of required textbooks on reserve for their students. In general, textbooks are not purchased for the library collection.
